I see. Anyway, I suppose anybody who wants to install Lazarus from
source code will need to separately install FPC. To install FPC from
source code you first need a binary FPC 2.4 version and same - if
installed from the RPM provided - seems to request the ncurses-base RPM
which seems to be broken.

In fact that is true as well. I just did not retry to install this, as I
do have the svn sources of FPC and just pointed Lazarus to same.

But anyway, I re-downloaded the file and retried to install it and again
I got the MD5 error. Here is the link I used:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/freepascal/files/Linux/2.4.0/fpc-2.4.0-1.src.rpm/download

Thanks for helping to make these things work !
