[Philipp Kern]

Source: gnustep-base
Version: 1.22.1-1

| checking procfs.h presence... no
| checking for procfs.h... no
| checking kernel support for /proc filesystem... yes
| checking support for /proc psinfo struct... no
| checking link to exe of process in /proc... /proc/self/exe

| checking ffi.h presence... yes
| checking for ffi.h... yes
| checking for forwarding callback in runtime... yes
| configure: error: The ffi library (libffi) does not appear to be working.  Perhaps it's missing or you need a more recent version.  Version 3.0.9 or later should work, and you can find a link to it n the list of packages for download at http://www.gnustep.org/resources/sources.html
| make: *** [debian/configure-stamp] Error 1
