[fpc-pascal] Using other fpc installation

[kapibara]

The old SVN version is now in play, so far so good! But then "Can't find 
unit system" happened:

roger at bikupan:~/fpc/fptest_working$ fpc fptest.pas
Free Pascal Compiler version 3.1.1 [2017/08/16] for x86_64
Copyright (c) 1993-2015 by Florian Klaempfl and others
Target OS: Linux for x86-64
Compiling fptest.pas
Fatal: Can't find unit system used by fptest
Fatal: Compilation aborted
Error: /home/roger/fpc/fpc_svn/compiler/ppcx64 returned an error exitcode


Before that I had changed the path:
roger at bikupan:~/fpc/fptest_working$ 
PATH=/home/roger/fpc/fpc_svn/bin:/home/roger/fpc/fpc_svn/compiler:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
roger at bikupan:~/fpc/fptest_working$ export 
PATH=/home/roger/fpc/fpc_svn/bin:/home/roger/fpc/fpc_svn/compiler:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

roger at bikupan:~/fpc/fptest_working$ which fpc
/home/roger/fpc/fpc_svn/bin/fpc
