In the years that I still used Linux (Ubuntu) as my primary OS, I ALWAYS 
used the official Free Pascal console installer (never the bundled 
packages for FPC or Lazarus). Then simply used the apt-get package 
manager to install the dependencies:

   sudo apt-get install libX11-dev
   sudo apt-get install libXft-dev

That pulled in everything I needed to get a working development 
environment on Ubuntu. That way I could also install multiple version of 
FPC for testing.
