Thanks for your advice Tim even if you had to repeat it for it to be
acknowledged.
When I inspected the SqueakFFIPrims.c file generated for squeak2.8pre4 I
discovered it to be configured for an internal module.
Therefore the configure --enable-ffi=yes was the only way for it to get it
working.
I followed your instructions and created an external module and recompiled the
program. I now have been able to get the FFI module to work.
Thanks again
John Briggs
