GHC looks in lib for libffi.a and fails, the current workaround is to copy the contents of libffi/build/inst/lib64 into libffi/build/inst/lib and type make again. Symlinking won't work because libffi seems to sanitize the build directory before building the library I'd like to note that when compiling via the Debian source snapshot, libffi is put in the correct place if I run ./configure without using perl boot. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9620 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

I can verify that mine prints `../lib64`. It sounds likely that someone accidentally hardcoded `../lib` somewhere else. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9620#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

However libffi insists on installing its libraries into this mysterious "toolexeclibdir" instead. Seems like Gentoo ran into the same issue when packaging libffi: https://sourceware.org/ml/libffi-discuss/2014/msg00016.html Maybe we can adopt their workaround of `sed -i 's:@toolexeclibdir@:$(libdir):g' Makefile.in` before running libffi's configure script. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9620#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
