Sorry to bug everyone again. I am still mixed up. I was having trouble
with both source compiled builds and Debian stable packages on a 64 bit
machine so I switched computers and used an atom based netbook. I still
ended up with errors related to number types. I switched back to the 64
bit computer and installed a binary from the site. I am still getting
errors I have included one at the end of this email.
I am also finding the site confusing. If I click on AMD64/x86_64 on the
binary download page and then choose sourceforge, I end up being
offered a package that says fpc-2.6.0.i386-linux.tar.
I did find another link and installed the compiler.
I appreciate all the time everyone has already put in-Patrick
