Hello
I am using freepascal compiler since it early versions.
It works great under linux and produce code which for me is better
than one produced by gcc.
To simplify installation I suggest you to use branded tools for
package management like apt-get or yum.
This way you can install fpc and be sure it'll work.
Compiling fpc youself makes sence if you need latest unstable version
which is not in the repositories.
Please, do not claim fpc isn';t good enough for you because it is imho
the best pascal crossplatform compiler ever written.
