Re: GNUstep on 10.7

[artware]

Guys,

Thanks to your help, I'm much closer now. I think the configure in
gnustep-base is finding FFI, but it's just not liking what it's
finding:

"checking FFI library usage... configure: error: The ffi library
(libffi) does not appear to be working."

I've recompiled and reinstalled libffi 3.0.10 a few times now, but it
doesn't seem to help. pkg-config is hosed on my system, and trying to
recompile it fails, because it requires... pkg-config.

Any thoughts?

Ben
