I found the fpc '2.4.0-1 rpm on Sourceforge. To install this ncurses-lib is needed. I found same using "rpm finder" (versions 5.7-.7 and 5.7-3) To install this ncurses-base is needed I found same using "rpm finder" (versions 5.7-.7 and 5.7-3) With these RPMs available (either of 5.7-7 or 5.7-3 versions) I can start installing the fpc 2.4.0-1 rpm. But when "accepting" the setup both with versions 5.7-7 and 5.7-3 I get a "bad magic" error with "ncurses-base". So I needed to "ignore" the dependency error. I suppose fpc will work for me anyway, as ncurses supposedly only is needed for ide. Now I was able to install fpc-docs 2.4.0-1 from Sourceforge. I was not able to install fpc-src 2.4.0-1 from Sourceforge due to "MD5-error". So I suppose Lazarus will not work out of the box, as same needs the FPC sources. I will try to point Lazarus to the FPC sources I got from the svn, but I'm not sure that this really will make it work. Thanks for any additional pointers, -Michael
