Thank you, how am I best to install this?

I naively thought that would update the version installed
when you perform:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install fpc

When I do this on a completely clean 2014-09-09-wheezy-raspbian I get:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 fpc : Depends: fpc-2.6.0 (= 2.6.0-9+rpi1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Do I need to upgrade to Jessie, or do the packages have to be 
installed by hand?

Thanks,

Paul
