Anybody running this combination?

When attempting to run lilypond, libffi.so.6 is not found:

    error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.6: cannot open

I am presently unable to locate libffi.so.6 on this OS, as libffi.so.4 seems to be the highest version. I do understand that Leap 42.1 is very new.

Bear in mind (1) Leap is based on SLES, and I gather there have been
various moans about software versions going *backwards*,

and (2) that is very similar to the reason I changed my distro-of-choice
from SuSE to gentoo - I was trying to run the latest lilypond on the
latest SuSE, and half the dependencies were out-of-date :-(

So you might well find that libffi 6 has been around a while but Leap
has been a leap in the wrong direction :-(

Does anybody have an idea where the libffi dependency comes from?  It's
not linked explicitly as far as I can tell.

Don't wonder abut troubles, SuSE is Windows owned.
