Hi Daniel,

I have spent the whole afternoon trying to install fpc. :(

First I downloaded the .rpm files. The compiler and docs install fine but the 
source doesn't install anything and there is no error or warning. 

So I tried the same source rpm from a different mirror with the same result.

So I removed those, downloaded the new 2.1.4a archive, unpacked it  and ran 
the install script (which I had to interrupt and run a second time as root) 
which ran without showing an error and yet I still have no source installed. 

any ideas please?

neal.
