I found it difficult to come up with a descriptive message.

Do you think that "fppkg.cfg" is better then "fppkg configuration"? 
Problem is that it could also be in the fppkg-compiler configuration 
file (by default called default). But it could also be something else. 
To be honest, I don't have a clue why it does not work for you. One 
guess would be that you do not have the fpmkunit-directory available.

Call samplecfg. ;)

The dialog checks if the given prefix is valid. (It checks for the 
existence of a few files) It has some hard-coded paths to check for to 
fill the combobox, and it extracts the prefix from the given 
compiler-executable.

When you click on the button to create the new configuration-file, it 
calls 'fpcmkcfg -3' and 'fpcmkcfg -4' with the parameters deducted from 
the given prefix. Just like samplecfg on Linux does.

After this, it re-loads fppkg. And it checks if the rtl-package can be 
found. If this is not the case, it complains.

So, can you give the output of 'fppkg listsettings' and 'fppkg list -d', 
to check why it can not find the rtl?
