I second that!

It failed for me in 10.10.5.  The installation also modified the
system sed and that cause me a lot of trouble.  Installation scripts
must NEVER ever modify system programs!

Thanks.  There are some not-as-nice alternatives.  I have gotten the
p2c translator going again under 10.10.5:

FreePascal folks are working on standardizing their compiler so it may
also be able to compile eventually.  Another possibility is conversion
to Ada and then compiling.  However, getting GPC going again would be
great.
