Why don't you start again. Remove all copies of FPC, no matter the versions. Remove all copies of the fpc.cfg too. Look in /usr/local/etc and $HOME. Then download the official FPC release install: http://sourceforge.net/projects/freepascal/files/FreeBSD/2.6.4/ Untar the file to a temp directory and run the install script. Install to your own home directory location - that way you don't need root privileges. For example: /home/freds/devel/fpc-2.6.4/ Using version numbers in the install location also means that you can install other versions of FPC concurrently. You can then tweak the ~/.fpc.cfg to use $fpcversion macros instead of hard-coded version numbers. That way all FPC install share the same ~/.fpc.cfg file. If you need the FPC source code, download that from SF.net too, and unpack that in /home/freds/devel/fpc-2.6.4/src/ I then amend my PATH environment variable to include the stable FPC "bin" directory, so I can use FPC from anywhere in my system, simply by typing 'fpc <myprogram.pas>'. Other FPC versions can be used by specifying the full path to the fpc binary. I've used this setup for years - first with Linux, then the last 3 years with FreeBSD. This has always worked without fail. I NEVER use any package management version of FPC, and neither to I use FreeBSD ports to install FPC. The official FPC release installer is all you need.
