Yes, perhaps I wasn't clear: that was what I had in place when it gave the error, I had libffi and libffi-devel installed from the RHEL6 repos; since the version if not the one recommended I assumed that the error could be because of that - and apparently wasn't. > If it still does not work, get libffi*.src.rpm > from Fedora 16 sources and do rpmbuild --rebuild libffi*.src.rpm, then install > the built packages. This means updating a "base" package, something I'm not overly eager to do since it could break existing programs, including the ones I need for work. I have yum configured to disallow the replacement of base packages because of this (even if I have a very limited number of third-party repos, I used to add more like rpmforge and sometimes the result was... mixed). This is why I compiled it by hand and installed it in /opt, and removed the -devel package (and not the libs since that would mean uninstalling half the system). It's my impression that configure should work, regardless of libffi being present via the package manager or a source tarball.
