For practical reason it has always been the better way to install fpc

if you ask me, I wouldn't use it - although I do use a precompiled fpc.
what would it take for the various *nix flavor maintainers to fix their
install scripts so that FPC and/or Lazarus were installed in this manner? it
would definitely fix a lot of headaches when it comes to installing the
prepared release packages...
Define 'in this manner' ?
The FPC installs for *unix allow you to install wherever you want, provided
you have permissions for it.
