Vincent:

When I get to the third step I get this:

This usually means that the units found in /usr/local/lib/fpc/2.5.1/units/i386-linux/rtl are not compiled with the same compiler version you are using now.

It means that fpc -iV did not return 2.2.4, but you are still using fpc 2.5.1.

Please fix the symlink in /usr/bin/ppc386

[mbohn]

You are correct.

Synaptic Package Manager says that I have 2.2.4-3 installed and that it is the latest version.  How do I

.. fix the symlink in /usr/bin/ppc386

?

[Vincent Snijders]

use ln (see man ln) to make a symbolic link from /usr/bin/ppc386 to /usr/lib/fpc/2.2.4/ppc386.

make sure that:
which ppc386
returns /usr/bin/ppc386.

That worked.  There are some error messages when Lazarus fires up, but I think it is basically usable for my console program.

Thanks for all your help.  (And your patience!)

[Vincent Snijders]

I glad you got a working Lazarus. :-)
