So I found the problem and now everything seems to compile OK. I haven't properly set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to my installed libffi. It took me some time to find where is a problem. And it would be very useful to have better clue than just: raise Exception("run_example_code failed!\nlocals = %r" % (locals(),)) [translation:ERROR] Exception: run_example_code failed! If there was written the output from the test: /tmp/usession-release-5.0.1-2/platcheck_28: error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory , everything will be much more clear.

Dears, I have tried to compile pypy 5.0.1 according to http://pypy.org/download.html#building-from-source. First compiled libffi-3.2.1 and installed to /software/pypy/5.0.0/gcc and then exported the PKG_CONFIG_PATH to the appropripate directory. Result from "python ../../rpython/bin/rpython -Ojit targetpypystandalone" is in the attachment. What could be wrong, please? The /software path is somewhere on AFS (network storage) and I have full rights on it. I assume there is no problem to run the compilation as root. When I try to run by hand the last two steps before error occurs, no error appears. Thank you, Petr
