Correct, but the FPC installer package normally checks whether they  
are installed, by checking for the existence of /usr/bin/gcc. It's  
pretty odd that /usr/bin/gcc would exist, but /usr/bin/as not. Maybe  
the path is wrong in the terminal session for some reason?

To César: what does

echo $PATH

show? And

ls -l /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/as
