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 :

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.
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).
