Thanks, I downloaded the x64 tar file instead and extracted it in
parallel to the i386 one in the Downloads directory, then entered the
dir and commanded:
sudo sh install.sh

And it worked fine. FPC is now the x64 version.

Then I returned to the Lazarus folder where I had checked out
lazarus_1_6_RC1 and issued make bigide.

Now there were some warnings like this:
/usr/bin/ld: warning: ../link.res contains output sections; did you
forget -T?
But it did finish without errors.

When I type in ./startlazarus on the command line Lazarus seems to
start up OK, but then it displays the "Configure Lazarus IDE" dialog
box where it asks for the path to fpc sources...

But I have no idea where the sources were placed by the "very big with
everything" file I downloaded to install fpc x64 version...

I assume the install.sh script has put the sources somewhere on the
disk, for example below /usr/local, but I am not Linux versed enough
to know how to find the exact location.

Could someone here please tell me where?
