[fpc-pascal] Cannot build FPC from SVN

[Andrew Brunner]

Hi Jonas,

I use svn/trunk to build FPC.  I bootstrapped  a a few months ago Ubuntu
10.10 betas/release  but I've been using 2.5.1 for over a year now seeded
with what ever came with Ubuntu 10.10 distro (But that was months ago).

Presently I don't  how I'm not using 2.5.1 to build current FPC but there
maybe remnants of Ubuntu's deb install somewhere in links, but why all of a
sudden this problem?

When I type fpc from any path I get

Free Pascal Compiler version 2.5.1 [2010/11/29] for x86_64
Copyright (c) 1993-2010 by Florian Klaempfl
/usr/lib/fpc/2.5.1/ppcx64 [options] <inputfile> [options]

I'll go read that thread...
