Have you looked at FPC FAQ (in particular, https://www.freepascal.org/faq.var#systemnotfound), or FPC documentation (https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/user/usersu7.html#x21-280003.1.2)? FPC Wiki is an additional resource, there is some information related to Lazarus as well - see http://wiki.freepascal.org/Unit_not_found_-_How_to_find_units. All of this might help you in finding differences; note that installation packages created for specific Linux distributions may decide to modify the default unit locations. Hope this helps Tomas _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
