+    brew install libffi
+    ```
+  - Go to the `ffi` pack directory
+  - Execute the shell command
+    ```{bash}
+    export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/libffi/3.2.1/lib/libffi-3.2.1/include
+    ```
+  - Use `configure.ac.mac` and `Makefile.mac` : 
+    - move them to `configure.ac` and `Makefile`
+      ```{bash}
+      mv configure.ac.mac configure.ac
+      mv Makefile.mac Makefile
+      ```
