Subject: ffi library refuses to load

I'm trying to run a sample program from rubygame, but it claims a
library file from ffi is missing. From my terminal:

ffi-1.0.0/lib/ffi_c.so

As you can see from the ll command at the bottom, the file is most
definitely there. This is very frustrating. Any ideas?

I'm using 'ruby 1.9.2p0 (2010-08-18 revision 29036) [x86_64-linux]',
compiled from source, on Trisquel 4.
