just saw Jason's message - if renaming makes no difference, it's likely there's
a suffix prob in the IBO packages (but i don't have the latest version here so i
can't check).

i have D5 and a trial of D6 installed, no D7. In my D6\Lib dir, there's a
rtl.dcp (not rtl60.dcp). You could try adding that from your D7\Lib dir.
Or add the dir where system.dcu (not .pas!) is located to the packages' search
path. But, as said, i don't have the latest IBO version so maybe better wait for
Jason here...
