I've noticed that in many of the example programs that come with FreePascal, trying to compile them results in an link error where ld claims it cannot find a particular library (I'm getting one for gd) even though the corresponding library file is present in
/usr/local/lib/fpc/1.0.10/units/linux/libxxx
From searching the archives, it seems that this is due to the actual library itself missing (at least for other libraries like mysql and postgres). What then are the file like gd.o, libgd.a, libpgd.ppu for? Are they just stubs? And what exactly do they do?
It would probably be a good idea to expand the FAQ entry regarding 'cannot find vga' into one that covers this particular situation or put said info in a README in the examples directory.
