[fpc-pascal] Re: Linking issue in Ubuntu 9.04 (32 bit)

[Alan Krause]

Just a quick update on this issue. I finally decided to submit a bug report
via Ubuntu's Launchpad, as I didn't see any other similar bugs in their
database. ( Bug report is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392197 )

It looks as if the issue has now been resolved and the fix is available for
the next release (9.10 - Karmic Koala). However, I was able to download the
appropriate .DEB file for my architecture and install it on a 9.04 box, and
it does appear to work as advertised.
