Hi,

I installed fpc 3.0 on my "new" Debian system, running the script form fpc-3.0.0.i386-linux.tar.

This shell script will attempt to install the Free Pascal Compiler version 3.0.0 with the items you select

Install prefix (/usr or /usr/local) [/usr] : /usr/local Installing compiler and RTL for i386-linux...
Installing rtl packages...
Installing rtl-console
tar: Een los blok met nullen op 613
Installing rtl-extra
tar: Een los blok met nullen op 1527
Installing rtl-objpas
tar: Een los blok met nullen op 2442
Installing rtl-unicode
tar: Een los blok met nullen op 5916
Installing fcl...
Installing fcl-async
...

Should I be concerned about the "tar: Een los blok met nullen op 1527" messages? (It roughly translates to: "tar: A separate/isolated/loose(?) block with zeros at 1527"

I was able to build Lazarus with it, so I guess it's OK?

Are you sure you are using the standard tar? What does tar --version report?

I don't know whether there's a master chacksum os has list anywhere.

The original message is: "A lone zero block at %s"

See: https://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=5452

"When extracting tar files created with PEAR::Archive_Tar, tar shows a warning like 'tar: A lone zero block at *'. The reason for the message is that newer GNU Tar implementations expects TWO empty records marking the end of the archive but Archive_Tar is writing only ONE. That is confusing for many users."
