Re: Problem compiling sablevm-1.1.9 on Debian

Hi Sebastien,

You should try compiling the following program:

#include <ffi.h>
int main()
{
   ffi_cif cif;
   ffi_type *args[1];
   ffi_prep_cif(&cif, FFI_DEFAULT_ABI, 1, &ffi_type_uint, args);
   return 0;
}

as follows:

$ gcc -o test -lffi test.c

Do you get any error?  If yes, can you tell us about it?

Also, if the problem persists, could you tell us about the output of the 
following commands:

$ export -p
$ gcc -version
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
$ uname -a
