Hi,

I received my Raspberry Pi today, and had a bit of a play. I'm using the Debian 6 OS with my Pi. I downloaded the FPC+fpGUI ARM archive (only a 3.5MB download), packaged by Paul Breneman.

Nice one.

All I had to do to get my projects to link successfully, was to install a few missing packages, which were not included with the Debian 6 distro for the Pi.

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install libX11-dev libXft-dev

I'll have to speak to somebody to see if they could include it as standard - after all, the Pi is meant for developers to play with. If anybody has contacts, please let me know.

I think I've had to install those on any Debian system I've used for development, so for any change you'd be up against the entire Debian philosophy. Good luck.
