[fpc-pascal] problem with the opengl unit

[YuGiOhJCJ Mailing-List]

Indeed, I found an example in /usr/share/doc/fpc-2.6.4/opengl/examples/bounce.pp.

$ fpc bounce.pp
Free Pascal Compiler version 2.6.4 [2014/05/03] for i386
Copyright (c) 1993-2014 by Florian Klaempfl and others
Target OS: Linux for i386
Compiling bounce.pp
bounce.pp(14,3) Fatal: Can't find unit gl used by bounce
Fatal: Compilation aborted
Error: /usr/bin/ppc386 returned an error exitcode (normal if you did not specify a source file to be compiled)

So there is really a problem with my GL (or gl) unit.
If this is only a problem of upper case, can you tell me how I can fix it?

This is the way I have compiled fpc-2.6.4 (it can be useful):
$ tar xvf fpc-2.6.4.i386-linux.tar
$ tar xvf fpcbuild-2.6.4.tar.gz
$ cd fpc-2.6.4.i386-linux
$ mkdir binary.i386-linux
$ cd -
$ cd fpc-2.6.4.i386-linux/binary.i386-linux
$ tar xvf ../binary.i386-linux.tar
$ for each in *.tar.gz; do tar xvf ${each}; done
$ cd -
$ cd fpc-2.6.4.i386-linux/binary.i386-linux/bin
$ ln -s ../lib/fpc/2.6.4/ppc386
$ cd -
$ export PATH="${PWD}/fpc-2.6.4.i386-linux/binary.i386-linux/bin:${PATH}"
$ cd fpcbuild-2.6.4
$ fpcmake -Tall
$ make build NOGDB=1
$ make NOGDB=1 PREFIX=/tmp/fpc-2.6.4/usr install
$ cd -
$ cd /tmp/fpc-2.6.4/usr/bin
$ ln -s ../lib/fpc/2.6.4/ppc386
$ cd -
$ rm -rfv fpc-2.6.4.i386-linux fpcbuild-2.6.4

Do you see why my opengl unit is not found?
