Typically I install fpc using the fpc-x.y.z.i386-linux.tar file that has an install script. I install it in /usr/local (needs sudo or su). I never had any problem with updating using this method. After installing, the command "fpc" will open the last installed version. Note: I never build fpc or change it's source files, so I'm with them being in a location that I have no write access to.
