I configured with --prefix=/usr/local and --libdir=/usr/local/lib64 on Fedora. Build and install seems to go well, but this caught my eye: gmake[3]: Nothing to be done for 'install-exec-am'. /bin/mkdir -p '/usr/local/lib64/libffi-3.2.1/include' /bin/install -c -m 644 ffi.h ffitarget.h '/usr/local/lib64/libffi-3.2.1/include' The header file location seems a bit unusual. Are headers supposed to be installed below the libdir? The libffi home page does not discuss header file location, and I did not see an INSTALL or README to look it up. I also did not see an option when running ./configure --help. Looking at Stallman's https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Directory-Variables.html , I don't really see a place for a version-specific set of header files. It looks like the convention is to overwrite old headers with new headers when from the same package. Thanks in advance, Jeff
