it's checking with pkg-config first of all.
see build/pkgs/libffi/spkg-configure.m4
If this test succeeds, it's assumed everything is fine.
Note that libffi is a pre-req for ECL, and ECL is built just fine,
as far as one can see.
I gather it must be a bug in ECL, which struggles to create a correct
incantation of C compiler calls
from a unique (Copyright JEC 2021 :-)) concostion of gmp built by Sage
and libffi provided by the system.
ECL checks for libffi carefully in its configure, as far as I know.
John, can you post logs/pkgs/ecl-21.2.1.log ?

oops, I meant to say, it's a bug in ECL, as this failing call to gcc

One way I can explain this is a broken system-wide install of libffi-dev
I don't know how this can be achieved, other than having multiple
system-wide copies of libffi,
or stuff manually removed.
The other possibility is that the linker is told not to look for
system-wide libffi - can this be achieved with -L and -Wl,-rpath ?
On the other hand, it's a bug in maxima, which does not try to check
for presense of libffi, just assumes it's there.

Do you perhaps need to sudo apt install libffi-dev?
It is listed as a dependency here:

(also see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=837102 from 2012)

Re: [sage-devel] problem building maxima
It looks like maxima.fas has not been built. Last time I saw that happen in sage-on-gentoo was because the patch to build it was missing. Not sure how it could happen on your setup, the log needs further inspection. > On 14/05/2021, at 21:18, John Cremona wrote: > > I have been installing sage-9.3 from the tarball on a few ubuntu > machines, just doing ./configure and then make.
