A user on my forums sent me this message. I've experienced the problem as
wee for quite some time. I was wondering if anyone has a universal fix for
it yet since it seems to happen so frequently to many people?
Basically the problem is that files that come with the system (read:
distribution) are not detected.
There are two common causes:
1. The user didn't install Linux properly, and didn't prepare the system
for development. ( installing package "build-essentials" on Debian
iirc)
2. The files are installed but not found. The line to check is the -Fl
line in fpc.cfg. This can be a mistake in FPC packaging, or
build-essentials being installed after FPC, thus the FPC package's detection
being run while the files were not there yet.
I've seen this on Solaris where the FPC installation script was broken,
but otherwise the only time it happens is if I move an fpc.cfg file from
one system to another where the underlying gcc etc. version is different.
