These paths look like the installation paths of debian or rpm packages. Doing a "make install" will overwrite the files of your package system. The next remove or update will probably not do what you want. > The new RTL files will be copied to: > /usr/local/lib/fpc/2.2.5/units/i386-linux > > Next, copy the files in the above directory (/usr/../units/i386-linux) > into /usr/lib/fpc/2.2.5/units/i386-linux > > Getting Lazarus to use the new FPC RTL: > Allow Lazarus to rebuild the LCL and itself from within Lazarus or > use Lazarus's make files. > > That's it. If you don't want to use the fpc/lazarus binary packages, then don't install them. Install fpc via the tar, then checkout both svn and make install them - just like most other linux software. It is explained in the link I gave.
