Perhaps an alias from /usr/bin/as would help? Or is there anything else that FPC needs? As of Xcode 3.x, you can install multiple versions of Xcode at the same time on a system. To allow for this, Xcode can install everything it needs into a a subdirectory, without installing anything globally on the system (i.e., nothing under /usr, / var, ..., only things under whatever directory you decide to install Xcode in). However, for compatibility with standard unix development environments and configure/makefile-based source distributions, you still have the option to also install the command line utilities (such as automake, autoconf, as, ld, gcc, cpp, ...) globally under / usr. Now, I am pretty certain that this is done by default and that this is only not done if you choose a custom install and deselect that option. I don't have an Xcode installer lying around to verify that though. I've now verified it, and the installer option is called UNIX Development Support and is selected by default. So if anyone reports this error, tell them to relaunch the Xcode installer and to install that option (although it's strange that FPC can be installed if Xcode was installed without that option, because the FPC installer checks for the existence of /usr/bin/gcc, and that one is not installed either if you deselect that option).

And ls -l /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/as It should be stressed that this problem is not isolated to one user; I have got questions from at least two users of Lightweight IDE. The IDE has nothing to do with it, of course, it relies on FPC finding the assembler. I suppose the IDE could call as itself when need arise, but that seems like an unnecessary workaround. One of the users reporting problems did search for as, and found it in /developer/usr/bin/as! So Xcode was installed, and as was installed, but not in /usr/bin/as!
