How did you install FPC (i.e. Free Pascal)?
Normally the install scripts install a valid /etc/fpc.cfg.

That's the second time this week, that someone downloaded FPC and
the installation does not create the fpc.cfg. What did you
download and how did you install FPC?
[...] I downloaded fpc-2.0.4.i386-linux.tar from sourceforge.com I am
pretty sure, I went for the .tar file as I am running Ubuntu which
can unpack .tar files.
Should I download another? I have unpacked this file three times
now with the same result.
Check:
- download fpc-2.0.4.i386-linux.tar
- unpack the file
- run on terminal:
sudo sh install.sh

The last step should install the /etc/fpc.cfg.

By the way:

There are packages for ubuntu for fpc. Look for 'debian' on the
fpc download site.

Or download them here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=89339&package_id=204004&release_id=447674
You need almost all of them.

Did all that and it worked hard but at the end I got '/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lglib
lazarus.pp(113,1) Error: Error while linking

so it looks like it compiled OK, but got into a problem while linking?

Yes. Your Free Pascal and Lazarus installation is now complete.
Now depending on what you want to do with it you need to install some
packages.
Install
libgdk-pixbuf-dev libgtk1.2-dev

Well I installed those packages, tried to start Lazarus with ./lazarus and it told me 'lazarus is a directory', I capitalised it but no such file or directory.....
