You may want to check the differences between fp.ini and fpc.cfg. Also, if you have an OS/2 version of the tool 'which' (available e.g. from http://silk.apana.org.au/utils.html or as an internal command within 4OS2 shell if you use that one), you might want to check a possible difference in path returned for 'which as' and 'which ld'.

Strange. Looking at the installer sources, I don't understand how it could behave that way. I'll recheck it and let you know the results. . . Unfortunately, there's a bug in the installer indeed resulting in suggesting a wrong directory setting for LIBPATH. :-( The problem only exists for people not having the respective libraries in LIBPATH from some other activities. I fixed the problem and uploaded a fixed installer to the FPC FTP server (but you obviously don't need to use it any longer since the only error was a wrong text in the message box and you already have the right version set in your CONFIG.SYS file).
