[SOLVED]GNOME 3 is not working.

Hello people,

I am new to Acrh and cant install gnome3. I am now using xfce4, which i dont like and dont think it is alternative to gnome2. Anyway, since i cant install gnome2, i wanted to try gnome3 but failed. After i installed it and after i run it from gdm, it doesnt show anything other than AWN and gnome's default shortcuts doesnt work too (ctrl+alt+t, alt+f2, etc.). I tried to reinstall it but agian no help. When i run apps from AWN, program runs, but it doesnt have wondow, i tried to enable "window-decoration" from CCSM (compiz-config-settings-manager)but no help again... I feel like gnome-shell is not running...

Please help...

EDIT: i think i found smth: when i run "gnome-shell" in terminal, it gives me this:

gnome-shell: error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Make sure your system is up to date (pacman -Syu).
