Thanks Jonas for quick answer! In /user/bin I have two symlinks: - ppcx64 which point to /etc/alternatives/ppcx64 - ppcx64-3.0.0 which point to ../lib/fpc/3.0.0/ppcx64 So I can just change these symlinks to point to 2.6.4 dir and that is enough? I want to have everything be 2.6 default, 3.0 will be handled manually in new experimental projects. BTW: When saw symlink point to *alternatives* reminds me that when installed FPC 3.0, in console message which asked for override fpc.cfg, there was info about 'update alternatives'. Is it some kind of debian solution for switching between versions? Forgot to mention, I have Kubuntu 16.04 64bit BTW2: I didn't install FPC 3.0 manually from downloaded debs, only 2.6. FPC 3.0 was suggested in 'sudo aptitude dist-upgrade' command. I accepted that (actually I had no other choice) because I needed it anyway but this is weird. What forced this? I don't even have Lazarus installed from deb, it is build from fixes branch using make command. Checked 'sudo aptitude dist-ugprade' on my old laptop with Kubuntu 14.04, Lazarus 1.4 and also Lazarus 1.6 Fixes and nothing related to FPC 3.0. Does it mean that FPC 3.0 is in official Ubunty 16.04 repo and some dependencies forced to install FPC 3.0 too? _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
