I need help with an IBObjects 4.2 install:

D3.02, W2K/SP2, C:\IBO4

Compiling in order:

IBO40CRT_D3.dpk OK


IBO40TRT_D3.dpk

1st problem was D6400 Internal Error.
Remains a usenet archive mystery (mostly).

However, even though my environment options had explicity
set Library DPL and DCP output directories, and no other
(so far) new packages had complained, I could not get the
D6400 error to go away without adding the DPL and DCP dirs
to my library path. Is this supposed to be a logical
requirement in the various Delphi versions?

(I presume that 'DPL' has been superceded by 'BPL' at
some point (D4?) to maintain concurrence w/BCB?)

Now, w/DPL and DCP added to my Library path, IBO40TRT_D3.dpk
will not compile because of a compile error on

IB_Import.pas: undeclared identifier 'ValueExists'

which I presume is a call to the Registry unit, which
is not in 'uses'.

I can add it to the 'uses' but I don't think that it
is recompiling a new dcu because the error will not cease
and desist.

Aside from help with this specific issue, if anyone has any
more references to specific D3.02/IBObjects install issues,
I'd be grateful - I'm concerned that my D3 install
difficulties may only be beginning, given that, in
'internet time,' D3 coincides with just past the
classical Greek period.

There was only one sustantive dialog on the the D6400 error
that I could find.

It also dealt with a large number of package installs, and
D3.02: re: RxLib.

Many suggestions were given to the suffering installer,
and applied to no avail.

The hero persisted and eventually shared this:

Thanks to Brad Parks, I solved the problem and, just in case that
someone stumble in the same problems in future the cure is to create
new package from all units, add the required packages (delphi's) and
the thing works.
Amen.

I'm not clear about what this means, or if it is of any use in this
instance.
