fficonfig.h: No such file or directory (Armbian/Ubuntu)

I can’t install a package that uses node-ffi on Armbian. I installed the libffi6 and libffi-dev package.

I’m running the latest Node version 11.

I run into the same issue when trying to install Signal-Desktop on my PinePhone running mobian. Are there any known solutions?
