Thanks, please do! I bit the bullet and did the following, hopefully it is not way off like my experiments on a Raspberry Pi2 were: 1) Went to http://www.freepascal.org/down/i386/linux-hungary.var 2) Downloaded the "everything" file ftp://ftp.hu.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/dist/3.0.0/i386-linux/fpc-3.0.0.i386-linux.tar 3) Extracted its contents to the Download dir 4) Then I entered the directory and issued the command: sudo sh install.sh 5) During installation I was asked to select target and entered /usr/local as I was told in another case some time ago. 6) Then I just replied Y to most of the questions and it installed apparently just fine. At least it responds to my fpc -h command... Now I have to deal with Lazarus, but that is another list/forum... -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
