Was having the same issue compiling python 3.7.1 against locally compilied libffi 3.2.1. Setting CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS was not enough and was still getting the same error: INFO: Could not locate ffi libs and/or headers Everything worked as soon as i added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point to the location of the directory that had libffi.pc For me that was /foo/bar/distrib/libffi-3.2.1/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu Can test if it works with this: pkg-config libffi --cflags-only-I ---------- nosy: +Ivan Levchenko _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue31710> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
