I've installed the Free Pascal Compiler, fpc, included on the 8.1
installation disks, but the compiler doesn't seem to be installed. Man
fpc tells me that the command syntax is "fpc [options] [sourcefile]",
but even something as simple as "fpc -h" produces "fpc: command not
found". Indeed, the Mandrake Software Manager shows me over four hundred
files in the fpc rpm, but none of them are named fpc. In order to run
the command fpc, I need a binary executable named fpc, correct?

I've read the man page, the readme, the faq, and the freepascal.org
site, but everything takes for granted that the compiler will work after
installing the rpm. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?

TIA,
Warren
