fpc 2.4.2 gives the following error on SuSE 11.4. What is the name of the

I have rebuild fpc 2.4.2 for Mandriva some time ago:

http://magnifier.sourceforge.net/tmp/fpc-2.4.2-1mandriva.i386.rpm

It should work fine in PCLinuxOS and SuSE too

You can try to install this package instead of the default one.


Thanks for the advice. Let me summarize the result.

The Mandriva kit above installs fine. The 'fp' command is functional. The kits on the open SuSE site under the 'Open build service' are also fine. This is the good news. The bad news is that these kits are one release older than the most recent ones.

There is a second problem. I prefer parallel installation of 32 bit and 64 bit variants of FPC. In the past there were bugs in the compiler effecting one of the versions selectively. The ready made kits of the SuSE site can not be installed in parallel.

I understand that the non-functional IDE and parallel installation are low priority problems. Possibly I should contact the guy who the open build service did. Do we know who was it?

Cheers,

miklos
