Then where's the error?
Yes, ./configure succeeds, also make succeeds in general, so it produces a usable python executable but _ctypes is not compiled so _ctypes is not usable and can not be imported, libffi is only needed for _ctypes AFAIK. The error, or better said INFO message, comes from make: INFO: Could not locate ffi libs and/or headers Failed to build these modules: _ctypes But nevertheless make install also succeeds, the only thing is that _ctypes does not work.
