First try 'apt-get build-dep sablevm sablevm-classlib' (as root) to install all dependencies. Then, try compiling again, and if it doesn't help - show us last ~50 lines of config.log left by configure. Also make sure you have ffi header files installed, ie: $ ls -al /usr/include/*ffi* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2314 2004-12-19 12:11 /usr/include/fficonfig.h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14629 2004-12-19 12:11 /usr/include/ffi.h Hope this helps, Grzegorz B.
