This is not fpc specific. Well, I have used a setup script I wrote years ago to set up fpc/lazarus on Raspbian so I don't have to remember these things. Has worked just fine on many RPi units. The rename is hidden inside the script of course... And yesterday is the first time I did it on an Ubuntu system and I adapted the content of the script to manual commands and of course overlooked a script line that moved the fpc.cfg file to .fpc.cfg Thanks for the explanation on why it is as it is. I am used to *not* hide files anytime both on Windows (where I always configure the explorer to show hidden files) and on Linux where I always use an ls -la alias ll in order not to hide files. Never understood the reason for hiding stuff...
