Problems installing joinmarket-clientserver-0.5.4

[HamishMacEwan]

Hi,

Consequent to a number of other problems, I'm re-establishing joinmarket-clientserver on a new system:

joinmarket-clientserver-0.5.4$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: LinuxMint
Description:    Linux Mint 19.1 Tessa
Release:        19.1
Codename:       tessa

There was a minor hiccup with virtualenv which I solved with apt-get virtualenv but now I have something I can't resolve involving libffi:

joinmarket-clientserver-0.5.4/deps/libffi-3.2.1$ ./autogen.sh
autoreconf: Entering directory `.'

autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf --force
configure.ac:451: error: possibly undefined macro: LT_SYS_SYMBOL_USCORE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1

I did the above by hand (without ./install.sh)

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Is there a reason as to why you aren't using ./install.sh ? Or is this the error that is produce when running install.sh

You have some missing dependencies, see libffi/libffi#210.

Just trying to narrow down the problem, I was hoping if I solved it, install.sh would notic. This the error that is produced when running install.sh

Thank you! Fixed it for them, fixed it for me.

Installing
sudo apt-get install libltdl-dev
solved me the similar problem with installing libffi on Armbian / RaspiBlitz 1.3 / Odroid HC1.

#443 will fix
