I try to compile c:\lazarus\debugger\fpdebug\fpd\fpd.lpr but in file
DbgDwarf.pas is :
function TDwarfLineInfoStateMachine.NextLine: Boolean;
var
   pb: PByte absolute FLineInfoPtr;

Error: absolute can only be associated with a var or const ("local" variable is private field)
Compiler version 2.4.2 not compile it. Is available newer compiler ? (I have Lazarus 0.9.29 from snapshot)

You need an older compiler. It appears FPdebugger is not maintained at the moment.

There also is http://duby.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/duby/ if you are interested.
For bot projects, I have no idea what the state of them is.

Since you posted that in pc, not Lazarus mailing list, I do not know if you meant to ask about Lazarus, but since you did ask about "install" I don't think fpdebugger can currently run inside the IDE (I didn't find any place where it attempts to register)
Duby, I think has some instructions how to do that.

---
If this is about debugging inside the Lazarus IDE. I believe (may be wrong...) using gdb still gives better results than any of the two (just from what I read in the past).

Duby is not yet usable as a debugger.

thanks,

In new compiler it removes a nice feature of absolute ?

Possibly yes:
