Hi,

with

sxemacs-22.1.9p141


from ./configure I get the following messages:

...
configure: WARNING: GCC FFI not found.
checking for ffi_call in -lffi... no
configure: WARNING: Cannot find a usable libffi, not compiling FFI support
checking for sufficient FFI support support... no
...

;;;;;;;;;

with

gcc (GCC) 4.2.1 (SUSE Linux)


Thanks a lot BTW
