Hello Matt,

you're right, this error message is misleading, I will change it. The IUP
egg depends on the ffcall library [1] in order to implement event callbacks
from IUP into Scheme and it cannot work without that library.

To compile the egg you will have to install a development package for the
ffcall library as well as one for IUP or compile ffcall yourself if your
distribution doesn't offer a package for it.

Ciao,
Thomas
