Build errors

[NoahMarconi]

Hi, do you know what could be causing the build to fail? I see a few warnings:

I'm not sure if it's the jffi 404 causing the failure or me trying to build on windows 8. I can run a VM if some kind of linux box would work better.

re the jffi 404 I don't see a 1.2.9 in that directory but do see a 1.2.7 if that helps pinpoint the problem.

we currently do not support Windows as a platform, only linux, mac and solaris. the error message is not really helpful - we will add a check that produces a proper message.

Thanks! I'll try a linux build.

make sure to install libreadline-dev and gfortran - those are the two pieces that are usually missing on a vanilla linux installation.
