libffi.so.5

[jhon987]

Hi, I'm trying to compile gnome2 from ports, solving my problems as they occur. I'm now stuck with this:

libffi.so.5 not found

while compiling devel/gobject-introspection. After a reboot my graphical (Xfce) desktop doesn't load and I can only work trough a shell.

What can I do?

Thanks!! Worked like a charm.

After about three hours of watching black screen compiling I could finally get back to my half compiled GNOME2 graphical desktop and finish the compilation via terminal

Thanks a lot.
