Hi,
Let me sum up my libffi problems.

I have installied libffi_dev, yet I still don't have a proper link as I 
would expect

bash-4.2$ sudo pkgutil -l | grep ffi
CSWlibffi-dev
CSWlibffi4
CSWlibffi5

but:

bash-4.2$ ls -l /opt/csw/lib/libffi*
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          15 Dec 29 16:39 
/opt/csw/lib/libffi.so.4 -> libffi.so.4.0.1
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     bin        50156 Sep 27 17:33 
/opt/csw/lib/libffi.so.4.0.1
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          16 Apr  7  2013 
/opt/csw/lib/libffi.so.5 -> libffi.so.5.0.10
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     bin        25000 Jun 25  2011 
/opt/csw/lib/libffi.so.5.0.10

Did some package not install properly?

Furthermore, I think we should use only one libffi if possible, 
currrently libffi4 seems to be  used by:

bash-4.2$ sudo pkgutil -r CSWlibffi4
Solving needed dependencies ...
Looking at installed packages ...
Examining dependencies for:
   CSWlibffi4 (in use)
   CSWlibgcc-s1 (in use)
   CSWcommon (in use)
Nothing to remove.


Thanks,
Riccardo
