It looks like you are doing this under linux? It was always preferable to compile it from source on this platform. The procedure is very straightforward and described in details in gcc/install directory, read gpc install instructions as well. Just make sure to download corresponding source of gcc (that would be gcc-2.95.3 or 2.95.2 (either would work) for latest gpc source (under alpha directory, latest betta is in fact too much outdated and even less stable)). Don't install gcc itself (use --enamble-languages=pascal flag for configure).

hi, we got the similar problem with solaris.
If u downloaded the sources in binary form :
- Either you should unpack it from the root directory (OR) Run the shell script provided in gpc ftp site (install-gpc-binary file
in the binary directory). in installation directory It's how we solved the problem on solaris. Hope this will solve your problem also regards hari
I guess Oliver used *.rpm package as he wrote he tried to install GPC with YAST. Unfortunately I don't have a free SuSE machine at hand to check the package but I suppose that the SuSE team just incorporated the original install script into their package, so all you wrote is valid. Once again it appears that the best way to install GPC is simply building it yourself having all control in your own hand. Regards, Adam Naumowicz
Hm, it seems that I can not use the install-gpc-binary since there is no gpc home directory in my installation, and also the paths are different. So I downloaded the package for GPC, but that seems also to be difficult, since it installs gcc at the same time, and that is already perfectly installed, and I definitely don't want to change that (again, the paths are different, ...)
So, it seems that gpc is not for me. That free pascal compiler is installed and running, but I guess that is not better than dcc, the Kylix object pascal compiler. I have the Kylix package, but since they do not specify the relation of Borland Object Pascal to Standard Pascal, and in fact only the simplest constructs from Standard Pascal seem to work under dcc, I looked for some standard Pascal compiler.
Thanks in any case!
