Thanks. Yes I wanted to get fpc (the compiler) installed from sources rather than lazarus. Your advice somewhat got me there, but now when I compile the source/units are not found.
cd /home/myusername sudo apt-get install fpc mkdir fpc svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk lazarus cd fpc # now i'm at at /home/myusername/fpc/fpc make all make FPC=`pwd`/compiler/ppc386 -C compiler installsymlink INSTALL_PREFIX= /home/myusername make install INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/myusername cd /home/myusername Then I created Hello.pas: program Hello; begin WriteLn('Hello'); end. And then: fpc Hello.pas Error: Free Pascal Compiler version 2.7.1 [2012/04/02] for i386 Copyright (c) 1993-2012 by Florian Klaempfl and others Target OS: Linux for i386 Compiling Hello.pas Fatal: Can't find unit system used by Hello Fatal: Compilation aborted Error: /home/delluser/bin/ppc386 returned an error exitcode
