Well, I think the package is normally installed. But this package contains the sources to compile the package itself. Normally you don't need it. The package contains only two files: fpc-2.4.0rc1-src.tar.gz and fpc-2.4.0rc1.spec. It is installed in the packages-source dir of your system. On Fedora it is: /usr/src/REDHAT/... I think SuSe has another place for them. That it is using my own name, well.. it shoudn't. But I think it has nothing to do with the %files section (as it is the source-rpm). I'll build it as fakeroot next time. > Binary package "fpc-2.4.0-0.rc1.i386.rpm" installed fine after ignoring a > dependency for libtinfo.so.5.
