Hello, everyone,

I downloaded the newest fpc-1.9.0-i386.rpm and installed it on RedHat linux 9.0. But I found that if a program uses the unit "linux", it will output many errors when compiling it:

    It must be a bug of fpc 1.9.0 because it's okay for fpc 1.0.10.

[big snip]

It must be a bug of fpc 1.9.0 because it's okay for fpc 1.0.10.

Unit linux is considered legacy, since it has many fundamental issues.

However the old unportable 1.0.x unit will be provided as legacy unit for linux/i386 as unit "oldlinux".

The 1.9 unix units are still a bit in flux, so oldlinux might behave a bid unpredicatable. I hope to correct that in the next version.

I get the above error code when compiling a specific unit with the new 1.9.0 beta under Win32.

It doesn't occur under either 1.0.10 or 1.0.6, which are the other two versions I keep around to test things. It only occurs when *compiling* the unit. When *building* the unit, it compiles perfectly, but if I immediately try to compile after this, I get the same error again.

I would post the unit on my website & make a link here, except it's tied in to quite a few others...

any ideas?

Without sources we can't do anything
