Hy Samir,

I have installed the packages
  libffi2 3.0.4-7
  libffi2-dev 3.0.4-7
at my woody debian system.

With them I've gotten 3.2-5 (previous VM) builded.

If I recall correctly the headers have been necessary for building.

Note: I haven't found an earlier version of libffi here, so

libffi.so.1 wouldn't be found at *my* system (there is libffi.so.2).


Hope this gives some hints, but...
...don't ask me regarding building/running the current Unix 3.2-6 VM;
haven't even downloaded the sources yet.

Greetings,

Stephan
