Hi,

I was trying to install fpc 2.2.0 on a CentOS 5 x64 machine using rpm package, but libtinfo.so.5 is required. My system doesn`t have this lib and I didn`t find anything on Internet related to this. Anyone with same problem or any idea?

Thanks

I'm running FPC 2.2.0 on CentOS 5 x86_64. I use the Lazarus snapshot build which apparently doesn't require libtinfo.so.5 You can download it here: http://www.hu.freepascal.org/lazarus/ You can debug your code only when source files are in the project directory.

Hi Coco,

This package installs fine but fp IDE doesn't work. It still requires libtinfo.so.5 :( . Some students of my university likes Turbo Pascal then, I thinks that fp IDE would not scare them...

There was some similar bugreport from a SUSE user. We devised a fix, and he afaik managed to build SUSE RPMs.

So there are three things to be tried
- Use the reference Linux build (the .tgz)
- build yourself, use -XLAtinfo= to disable linking to libtinfo.
- Try the SUSE rpms
