I just updated to a newer compiler version (1.9.3) because I will try to work my way into the lazerus (IDE).

Now some of my units are suddenly not using
the unit linux; and doing a "getpid" doesn't work anymore.

I hope that someone here might know (of) the problem or the solution.

I might just have the librarys, config or something in the wrong place. ...I don't know! ....

Before I file a bug report, lets hear it from someone here. Is someone working with the newer complier?

my regards,

No problem here with todays compiler:

Unit 'linux' is replaced by units 'Unix' and 'BaseUnix'. The calls wil be fpGetID and fpGetPPId.
