If someone needs something else he needs to package it himself (in a way that it doesn't conflict with libffi43 from the gcc package). The gcc team does not generally package random things. Before doing that, though, consider that the GCC libffi is the most used and hence usually more fixed version of libffi. In fact SVN gcc libffi contains many changes that the currently released libffi (3.0.8) does not contain (despite that release being newer). So simply wait until we have gcc44 and hence libffi44 in STABLE. (To see this, compare http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libffi/ChangeLog?cvsroot=libffi vs. http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/trunk/libffi/ChangeLog?view=log) Reassigning to Vincent for consideration (I suggest to close this report). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It's two headers directly in /usr/include, and -lffi in /usr/lib{,64}, i.e. the default paths. All available right there in libffi43-devel. And yes, I consider this package to be aimed at use from outside GCC (actually it was created exactly because the formerly existing libffi package was hopelessly out of date). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
