Hi Aaron --

fiddle cannot be built on Debian/lenny by default, because extconf.rb
fails to find ffi.h. It can be built by specifying the path:

./configure --with-libffi-include=/usr/include/i486-linux-gnu

But I think it should be built by default on Debian/lenny because it
is the supported platform.

The following patch works for me, but I don't know whether it works
on other platforms.

diff --git a/ext/fiddle/extconf.rb b/ext/fiddle/extconf.rb

Hi,

2010/5/12 Tanaka Akira [e-mail]:

I can build fiddle on Debian GNU/Linux (lenny) by default.  Strange.

No such configure argument required for me.

Ah, my apologies! I remember that I'm using gcc build from source.
It works well with gcc of Debian package.

Sorry for noise.
