Delphi looks first for the .pas file and then for the .dcu file. When it
can't find either, it tells you the .dcu file is missing.

You have ib_header.pas. More comments in-line....

You are telling Delphi that you installed IBO in a directory named
c:\Program Files\Borland\Delphi7\ibo. Did you? The appearance of the error
seems to indicate otherwise...

If you installed ibo in c:\ibo then that's the path you have to put into
the library path.

Assuming the path is right, the ibo directory should also have all of the
.pas and .dpk files.

Did you actually download and unzip TWO files from the IBO download
page? You should have got IBO4.zip and D7_DCU.zip, unzipping IBO4.zip
first and then D7_DCU.zip. IB_Header.pas is in IBO4.zip. Also get the
How_To_Install.txt as it contains blow-by-blow instructions as well as
notes to get you past some of the Delphi traps, like e.g. needing to open
the first package before beginning the build; and which packages you need
to "install" after the Build All, i.e. the design-time pkgs for the components.
