This is a library named differently across distributions. There is no solution here. I don't know what comes with SuSE, but apt-get gets crazy if you force the installation, so if SuSE comes with something other then apt-get it should be safe to just force-install. The standard packages from FPC are built on Fedora I think, so they are fedora-specific because the distributions didn't take enough care to ensure that packages can work properly cross-distribution in all cases. The only solution is making a second RPM set, which might work on SuSE, Mandriva, PCLinuxOS. The dependency to libtinfo.so.5 is added automatically by the RPM build system by inspecting the executable with ldd, that's why it can't be removed. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
