This should be easy to fix (FAQ item, in fact ;-) ). Nevertheless, in
order to determine the reason, please do the following:

1) Compile with the -s parameter, run the created ppas.cmd and check the
error message displayed when trying to run GNU AS from this command file.

2) Check your PATH and LIBPATH (especially the latter) settings to contain
a reference to the DLL directory in your FPC installation.
