This configuration works for me but I didn't use octool and built all things manually. As far as I see current octool version just skips dependencies installation if ubuntu version is not "14.04" or "16.04". One can search for UBUNTU_VERSION usages in https://github.com/opencog/ocpkg/blob/master/ocpkg Taking it into account may be the root cause is not libffi absence. Could you please share the log of the octool since last command executed to understand the component which fails? It seems that libffi is needed to build guile only but in Ubuntu 18.04 guile can be installed from apt-get repository. You can try removing "install_guile" call from https://github.com/opencog/ocpkg/blob/871d0390576457cbfd3ab8efad1ed5c87c2e9a5c/ocpkg#L1090 and install it manually: apt-get install guile-2.2-dev вс, 14 окт. 2018 г. в 20:07, Johannes Castner <[email protected]>: > Hi Vitaly, thank you for your reply! > > I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS, bionic > > sudo apt-get install libffi-dev #gives: > > libffi-dev is already the newest version (3.2.1-8). > 0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 5 not to upgrade. > > without the sudo is says that permission is denied. > > Sorry took so long to reply ...its a bit perplexing to me as I've already > installed everything but it can not find it. > > I'd greatly appreciate your help! > > Johannes > > On Wednesday, October 10, 2018 at 7:34:57 PM UTC+1, Vitaly Bogdanov wrote: >> >> Hi Johannes, >> >> Which operating system do you use?
