Hi gabor,

These are the patches that the package applies:

This was called by the package maintainer the libffi patch:

I read on the git repo history that the racket fix was already applied to
git, so I tried the compilation by disabling it but I still had some issues.
Will try again and post my results here.

Thanks a lot for your help!

as far as i know there are users running fluxus on Arch 64 bits as there
were questions mentioning this.

i suggest that you install racket and fluxus git version.
what kind of patches are applied? isn't it the racket 5.1.2+ fix? it was
applied to git recently. maybe that's why the patch fails if applied to the
latest git.

best,
