This was useful information. I have the same error-message now.
Do you also have something like this in your fppkg.cfg? (The one that
fails)
Path=/home/CNOC/joost/fpc/lib/fpc/{CompilerVersion}//{CompilerVersion}/
(Note the duplicate {CompilerVersion} ?)
Not so easy to solve, though. I can imagine that some people do have FPC
installed in a directory that does not contain the compiler-version. So
I'll have to adapt fpcmkcfg...
On a second look it seems that this problem has been resolved already.
Did you have an old version of fpcmkcfg, maybe?
I'll add a check for that.

Re: [fpc-pascal] fpPDF and support of Latin2 charset
Is there way how to get correct PDF file WITHOUT embedding full
Courier font?
You can embed only the needed characters for every font ?
Probably yes, but fpPDF will not handle this automatically? AFAIK I
can not control this.
But why I get unreadable characters? What I am doing wrong ?
It seems that there is problem specific to CourierNew font (cour.ttf).
With Arial (arial.ttf) it works as expected.
Attached program which demonstrates problem.

Re: [fpc-pascal] fpPDF and support of Latin2 charset
Hi,
I am trying work with fpPDF. I can create PDF document, but character
out of ASCII range are displayed wrong (in PDF file they are stored
as UTF8).
Probably it is because I use standard Courier font, which is
expecting only "Latin characters" ? I use:
FontIndex := PDF.AddFont('Courier'); // --> test1.pdf
When I want to use TTF font:
FontIndex := PDF.AddFont('cour.ttf','CourierNew'); // --> test2.pdf
(nothing else this line has changed)
I get strange PDF file (I can open it but content is wrong)
What I am doing wrong? Is there way how to get correct PDF with
characters from Latin2 code page?
Not to my knowledge. You must use unicode for characters outside the
ASCII range.
Seems, that Adobe in
https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/PDF32000_2008.pdf
in Annex D2: "Latin Character Set and Encodings" specifies exactly which
characters are supported (by standard 14 fonts). Characters not listed
there are simply replaced by "X" in Adobe Acrobat Reader. But Foxit
reader displays them correctly (so I can use full range of characters
from CP1250 when I specify appropriate

It would be even better to tell the full file name. e.g. /etc/fpcpkg.cfg. 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. That's my problem too. That's why I'm asking for a better error message. I can not give a better error-message, if I do not even know myself what the problem of your configuration is. One guess would be that you do not have the fpmkunit-directory available. It would be extremely helpful, if it would check common mistakes, like this. An error message "Directory /path/fpmkunit is missing. Check your /etc/fpcpkg.cfg." would be far better than "Error: the Fppkg configuration is corrupt." What is corrupt? Is something missing, too much, not readable, did a command fail? What did it check to come to this conclusion? It already does all checks I can think of. And it does have special messages for all those cases. But, as long as I do not know what the problem is that you or others are experiencing, I can not give a better message. The message you see is the last message, when it failes but the system has no clue why. Maybe I should change this message to what is exactly happens, that it can not find the rtl. But this was the message in the past, leading to all kind of complains like: 'But the RTL is just there!'. We have to find the right message. It also took a while until we found the right text for the other problems in this dialog. But first I have to know what your issue actually is. Does not work. Can you elaborate, what it should do? Call samplecfg. ;) The dialog checks if the given prefix is valid. (It checks for the existence of a few files) Lazarus does similar checks with fpc. Some fpc version changed some paths, some platforms have different files. Boom, the user gets a wrong error message. That's why the IDE should tell exactly, what it checked. When it can not find those files, it will tell you so. Just like the other screens do. Just type something on the combobox with the prefix, it will give you hints until the path is probably right. 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? Probably it fails because I have old 2.6.4 fppkg configs. It should be able to handle those. And even when not, fpcmkcfg should just overwrite those. Another guess would be: it uses an old version of fpcmkcfg. Older versions need other parameters for it to work. But it seaches for fpcmkcfg at the same location it finds the compiler. So when you did do a 'make install', it should use the latest version. How do your fppkg.cfg and default files looks like? After the re-create that is?
