Hi

I'm trying to install fpc 2.4.2 using yum on centos 5.5 :

yum localinstall fpc-2.4.2-1.x86_64.rpm

It fires an error :

Missing dependency : libtinfo.so.5()(64bit) is needed by package fpc-2.4.2-1.x86_64 (/fpc-2.4.2-1.x86_64)

My searches make me understand that it was part of ncurses which is < up to date > :

(package ncurses-5.5-24.20060715.x86_64 already installed and latest version.

Any idea ?

regards

Julien

It's a known problem: http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=9734

It's caused by the fact that the rpm's are built on a Fedora Core system, which has that library while most other rpm-based distributions don't. I don't know of a solution other than using the .tar.gz installer, or by forcing the rpm installation (that library is only required by the text mode IDE, not by the compiler itself).
