Re: Installation of GUI failed on Fedora Core 6

[Adam Fedor]

I suspect this is a problem with Fedora's use of protected memory,  
which causes ffcall to fail. Although I have never gotten anyone to  
verify this. The next release will at least have a test for this -  
perhaps you could compile and run this test separately (attached -  
you'll need to link with the ffcall libraries to get it to compile).  
I think the only current fix is to use libffi instead of ffcall.
