sounds like there's a D6 path set in the PATH environment variable before
the D7 path, so the D6 RTL is found first. what happens when you
temporarily rename the entire D6 directory to D6_ or the like?

you could also search your hd for system.pas to find out what D6 path is causing
the trouble.

and another try: add RTL70 directly to the Requires list of the package that
complains. When Delphi finds system.pas in there, it won't look any further.
