FPC 2.6.0. changing to FPC 2.7.1

[Middlecope]

Compiling fpc 2.7.1
With subversion the source code of fpc was downloaded in /home/myself/fpc
svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/trunk fpc
The compiler fpc-2.6.0-1.x86_64.rpm was installed.
mkdir /home/myself/fpc271
In the /home/myself/fpc dir I gave the command
"make clean all install INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/myself/fpc271"
All went well.
cd /home/myself/fpc271/lib/fpc/2.7.1
I give the command "ppcx64 x" and it still shows me Compiler version 2.6.0
The size of it is 2901240 B definitly bigger than the old one.
Another question:
I expected ~/lib64 to be created instead of ~/lib64
How shall I continue?
Thanks for your attention!

/usr/local/bin/ppcx64 is symlink to /usr/local/lib/fpc/2.5.1/ppcx64 (in my case). You have to change it manualy. Maybe you will have to edit /etc/fpc.cfg too.

Thanks for your comment.
The symlink is not the problem.
Why I don't SEE the correct version makes me wondering.
And also the ~/lib that is created instead of ~/lib64
Anyway everything runs fine.
I needed the new version for try-out of the MySQL55conn. and it's OK

Did you mean the ppcx64 you execute is a true file? As Blaazen has pointed, it should be a symlink to ppxc64 under $(YourTopInstallationDir)/lib/fpc/2.7.1/ppcx64. Otherwise you might still execute the old binary. Verify by running:

Code: [Select]

which ppcx64and ensure it points to your new ppcx64.

I am sory.
I activated the wrong one.
I did some cleaning and placed ppcx64 in /home/myself/bin
Now it tells me version 2.7.1
