Was having the same issue compiling python 3.7.1 against locally compilied libffi 3.2.1. Setting CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS was not enough and was still getting the same error: INFO: Could not locate ffi libs and/or headers Everything worked as soon as i added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point to the location of the directory that had libffi.pc For me that was /foo/bar/distrib/libffi-3.2.1/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu Can test if it works with this: pkg-config libffi --cflags-only-I
