[fpc-devel] new install on Linux

[Graeme Geldenhuys]

Hi,

I am new to developing under Linux and installing fpc/lazarus on
Linux.  I downloaded the FPC 2.0.2 .tar.gz file.  Unpacked it, and ran
./install.sh
Selected /opt/fpc as my install path.  Everything seem to have gone fine.
Added /opt/fpc/bin to my PATH.  Ran fpc -i  and got the correct output

If I try and compile any sample application or Lazarus (using make
all), I get this error. Fatal: Can't find unit System

The full output is below.  Am I supposed to put something else in my
path or LD_LIBRARY path to find the fpc compiled units?

I am running Ubuntu 5.10 and have all the dev packages I could find or
think of installed.
