Lev,
You installed as root. The demo folders have root permissions.
Then you tried to compile as a user, and indeed permission to write
the object was denied.
So you tried a sudo, which was a good idea, but all the environment
information is not set properly in that case.
You may copy the example program to your user home folder, and set
permissions properly (chown -R lev demo/*).
Or you may change permission in the folder you currently work in
( chmod -R a+r *).
If this sound unfamiliar to you, you should read a primer on Unix
permissions.
Hops this helps.

So I'm trying to set this leopard up on Ubuntu (the Badger

am following the user manual.
Downloaded the .tar file; extracted to a temporary directory. (p11)
Ran the install script as root (or rather, equivalent thereof)
sudo ./install.sh and accepted all defaults (p12)
Ran the test 'fpc hello' (p14). It fails. Run it will full directory
listing, even tho' config has been written to /etc. Still fails.
Ehm. What is the error you get ?

Umm... Less than satisfactory, verdade?
Definitely.
Please provide slightly more detail, and we'll see what we can
do to make it a satisfactory experience... :)
Excellent! I like this community already ;-)
All the best,
Lev
