PyPy problem with libffi.so.5 shared libraries

I am running 32-bit Ubuntu 12.04 on VirtualBox. I'm trying to get pypy to work and it is so frustrating. I downloaded a binary file and when I try to run it I get this error

kimberly@kimberly-VirtualBox:~/Documents/pypy-2.2.1-linux$ ./bin/pypy
./bin/pypy: error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I already turned to the previous error with libssl.so.0.9.8 and installed it and got this error to go away, but now this one. I am trying to get pypy to work for several days, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

You will have more luck in using our PPA, unfortunately, binary compatibility on Linux, at best, a mess, we already compiled PyPys for Ubuntu 12.04; you can install it with:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pypy/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pypy pypy
