I finally got into installing and testing FPC in the ARM-gadget. Other people had replaced the original Debian with Ubuntu 9.something. I was able to copy and install your FPC 2.6.0-rc1 package there. It was easier than I thought! The compiler itself works but assembler is missing. See : --- root@ubuntu:/usr/share/doc/fpc-2.6.0/examples/text# fpc hello.pp Free Pascal Compiler version 2.6.0rc1 [2011/10/20] for arm Copyright (c) 1993-2011 by Florian Klaempfl and others Target OS: Linux for ARMEL Compiling hello.pp Assembling hello hello.pp(19,27) Error: Assembler as not found, switching to external assembling hello.pp(19,27) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module, stopping --- Does it mean an assembler is always needed with ARM? In my understanding x86 based PCs don't need a separate assembler with FPC. "apt-get install as" didn't install anything. So you'll probably have to build it yourself.

I think it works with old binutils because the Ubuntu version is not very new either. Or, is this related to the missing assembler issue somehow? Juha
