that is my output of running make as you can see it fails and I am not sure why?

p.s.

this is my LIBFFI_CFLAGS=/usr/local/lib/libffi-3.0.11/include/ variable setting

I would be very grateful for your all help

Joe

Is the variable
Code:
$LIBFFI_CFLAGS
global or you do have do export it ??

before make
type
Code:
 echo $LIBFFI_CFLAGS
and see the if output is LIBFFI_CFLAGS=/usr/local/lib/libffi-3.0.11/include/


If it does not work try to use your package manager and install it!

else try here http://sourceware.org/ml/libffi-discuss/

@jheengut,

Thanks for replying to my post, I can confirm that I have set $LIBFFI_CFLAGS and have exported it so that it is global, any other ideas as to why this still does not work?
