This is gentoo specific I believe, installing libffi in Ubuntu with
apt-get libffi4-dev
gives me
([EMAIL PROTECTED]:~)$ ls /usr/lib/libffi*
/usr/lib/libffi.a /usr/lib/libffi.so /usr/lib/libffi.so.4.0.1
/usr/lib/libffi.la /usr/lib/libffi.so.4
so I guess you need to add it to your LIBRARY_PATH and possibly
LD_LIBRARY_PATH :-)

YHC requires LibFFI to be installed and working.
In case the information helps: the version of libffi (it seemed like) I
installed was 3.4.3, corresponding to the GCC release of that version
number (indeed, using its source code). (Although it's very probably
irrelevant, I'm using GCC 3.4.4 as my C compiler.)
Now looking around, I found /usr/lib/libffi -- it's a directory!
$ ls -lR /usr/lib/libffi/
/usr/lib/libffi/:

[a couple spaces deleted to keep the lines from wrapping]
I don't know how much of this setup is Gentoo-specific, though, and I
don't know how libffi would generically be installed (e.g. starting from
the source tarball) in general.

Yes, I can compile that program "test.c" with gcc -c test.c
Just to test, without darcs-pulling anything, I re-ran scons on yhc, and
it worked to a greater extent than before (then erroring with:
/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/3.4.4/../../../../powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
cannot find -lffi
)
There must have been something temporary affecting that (my computer was
rebooted in between).
does gcc test.c -lffi work? :-)
After darcs pull, scons errored:
<snip scons error>
sorry my fault, forgot to add a file to the repo when I made a change.
thanks :-)
