Ned Deily added the comment: Thanks for the report and for the analysis. There have been a number of reports over the years about problems trying to build and/or execute Pythons with an external copy of libffi. They have become more pressing now that we no longer vendor the source of libffi

[issue40488] setup.py shall search by default for libffi.so in /usr/local/lib64

New submission from Дилян Палаузов : With libffi 3.3 doing `./configure && make install` puts libffi.so in /usr/local/lib64/ . This can be found by pkgconfig. But setup.py neither uses pkgconfig, nor checks by default /usr/local/lib64 for libffi -- components: Build messages: 367990
