Both libffi and ffcall can be a little fragile, so problems with them are hard to trace. Let me know if you have more problems.

I used the packaged ffcall and the packaged libffi. Then I removed libffi and recompiled against ffcall (Still the packaged one)... Everything was cashing frequently so I decided to do a fresh install.

I am now using the packaged ffcall and I built GNUstep from SVN... Everything is working now.

I think that perhaps libffi was the origin of my problems. Perhaps I also had a "messy" installation. I guess that if nobody else reproduces this problem I should pin point the problem somewhere between the computer and the chair ;)

I just compiled GNUstep on Ubuntu 8.04 and I don't really get any problems - using ffcall compiled from source. Did you do that or use the packaged ffcall? I haven't tried libffi. ProjectCenter does crash, but that's a different problem.

Built from SVN.

Using libffi gives the same problems.
Using ffcall works "better" (It passes all test but thread)

Are you saying things work fine when you have only ffcall or only libffi installed? Or have you not tried that? How did you install GNUstep - via a package or yourself?

I forgot to mention that this is happening on Ubuntu Server 8.04 running on x86.

if both ffcall and libffi are installed, configuration and build succeed, but applications like Terminal, ProjectCenter and Ink crash frequently sending a "Segmentation Fault" message and even base tests like "nsinvocation" and "thread" fail.

On the other hand, tests like nsnotification, nsarray and nsbundle work without problems
