Yeah, the directory was actually /opt/sablevm-1.1.8/bin, but I edited 
the console log and screwed it up.

I checked my .bash_history, and I did use the same --prefix in the 
./configure step. Here is the relevant portion, unedited. :-)

cd projects
tar xzpvf ../downloads/libffi-2.1.tar.gz
tar xzpvf ../downloads/sablevm-1.1.8.tar.gz
tar xzpvf ../downloads/sablemv-classpath-1.1.8.tar.gz
ls
mkdir builddir
cd builddir
../libffi-2.1/configure --prefix=/opt/libffi-2.1
make all && make install
ls /opt
cd ../sablevm-1.1.8
export CFLAGS=-I/opt/libffi-2.1/include
export LDFLAGS=-L/opt/libffi-2.1/lib
./configure --prefix=/opt/sablevm-1.1.8
make all && make install
ls /opt
cd ../sablevm-classpath-1.1.8
./configure --prefix=/opt/sablevm-1.1.8
make all && make install


I  retried the build and it worked this time. This time I installed 
libffi to /usr, unset CFLAGS and LDFLAGS, and for both sablevm and 
sablevm-cp, used

./configure --prefix=/opt/sablevm-1.1.8 && make install

Do you think the original problem was caused by the unusual location for 
libffi? I had used that technique successfully with sablevm 1.1.6, so I 
assumed it would work with 1.1.8 too.
