[Gambas-user] Installing 2.4.1 on Fedora 7

[Demosthenes Koptsis]

In ld.so.conf you write the paths of installed libs.
Check out if there is the path of libffi libs.
Normally it is installed in /usr/local/lib, so check if this path is
in ld.so.conf

my ld.so.conf (on openSuse 10.2) for example has these lines.

/usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw3d
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/lib/Xaw3d
/usr/i386-suse-linux/lib
/usr/local/lib
/usr/lib
/opt/kde3/lib
/opt/gnome/lib
include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
