Details

The libffi package leaves the header files in /usr/lib/libffi-3.0.13/include instead of moving (or at least linking) them to /usr/include.


Additional info:
* package version: libffi 3.0.13-4

Steps to reproduce:
Try to include ffi.h using #include <ffi.h>. What I was specifically doing was trying to install GSLL (GSL for Lisp) using Quicklisp+SLIME+SBCL, and it was failing. Found out that the headers were the problem.

Quick fix:
Create symbolic links in /usr/include to the following files:

/usr/lib/libffi-3.0.13/include/ffi.h
/usr/lib/libffi-3.0.13/include/ffitarget.h
This task depends upon
