[fpc-pascal] Linux Linking Error solved

[Rick Seiden]

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 444104 2006-06-08 04:09 ld

You would think that would allow me to execute it as a normal user.  The 
only thing I shouldn't be able to do as non-root, non-root-group member 
is write it, but...

I was going to copy and paste the output to prove that it didn't  do it, 
but when I tested it this time, it did work.  I swear that the error 
said it couldn't find /usr/bin/ld.  I just did ls, saw it there, with 
the root ownership, and then ran sudo fpc sockser.pas, and the error 
went away.
