Abstract
The 'tHooft's 5N-parametric multiinstanton solution is generalized to curvilinear coordinates. Expressions can be simplified by a gauge transformation that makes -symbols constant in the vierbein formalism. This generates the compensating addition to the gauge potential of pseudoparticles. Typical examples (4-spherical, 2+2- and 3+1-cylindrical coordinates) are studied and explicit formulae presented for reference. Singularities of the compensating field are discussed. They are irrelevant for physics but affect gauge dependent quantities.
