Re: Installation

[Doug Donalson;]

This might help as a followon to Paul's message.  As I remember,
the binary install for Solaris (Unix) has the ffi libs compiled
in, but there two include files ffi.h and one required by ffi.h.
Sorry, I can't remember the other name, but don't worry the compiler
will tell you :-).  Maybe these are now in the release, yes/no, Marcus?
If not, you haave to get them and put them where the software can find
them.

Cheers,
