I will try that tonight, however, my problem began when it wanted to use the sysunixh.inc file for some reason... thats when i added the path to the rtl in the src directory.. If I change the name to rtl2 won't it err out on not finding sysunixh.inc?

I installed fpc 1.9.2 from the beta2 install... this seems to be the problem.. i didnt actually compile fpc. maybe i should pull it from cvs and do a make cycle.
