We use the GNU debugger, and if the GNU team (not exactly a cheering crowd of pascal fans) breaks things for Pascal, then we are pretty much powerless. Secondly, can you look in the fp.cfg file using notepad, and see if there is a -Opentiom option somewhere in it ? If so, remove it. This option is no longer supported. Thirdly, you might consider simply (re)moving the file. As far as I know (don't use the text mode IDE) the IDE will look for this file also in the current directory.
