>From the github links posted by Chris it looks like a "bundle" is just a script that fetches a tarball with pre-compiled software from some trusted server and unpacks it into the local filesystem. In particular, the above-mentioned libffi bundle fetches a pre-compiled version of libffi from some random AWS account and the PyPy bundle fetches the pre-compiled binaries the PyPy bitbucket page. The problem is, I guess, that the PyPy binaries are dynamically linked against libffi, but installing libffi bundle will not help the matters, if it's not going to be added to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH for PyPy to see. So, it's either that, or else I would recommend trying this distribution out instead of the official PyPy binaries: https://github.com/squeaky-pl/portable-pypy It seems to include everything that can be reasonably bundled up in a single archive. Anyways, the buildpack moniker is misleading, isn't it? One would naively assume that it has something to do with building, whereas this doesn't seem to be the case. -- Sincerely yours, Yury V.
