I used to use Turbo Pascal years ago and thought I'd try Free Pascal. I'm running Suse 9.2, but every time I try to compile or run one of the demos I get,
Error: Error while linking
Any ideas?

We'll need some more verbose error message.
If there are no other messages, Please try compiling with the -s option, and run the generated ppas.sh script. It should be more verbose...

Under Windows/DOS it means, that previous .exe is running and linker can't write new .exe on the disk.

If you don't have binutils installed this can happen. Also in some cases libc6 devel package is required.
On Debian I would type
apt-get install binutils
and then if you get some different errors about lpthread, or you still have issue linking then
apt-get install libc6-devel
On Suse, I'm not sure but you'd do something similar with RPM packages or what not.

In fact, maybe these two packages above should be a -requirement- for the freepascal package in the fpc.rpm and fpc.deb ?
What do you think, should this be changed?
Currently, at the debian website here is what fp-compiler depends on: http://packages.debian.org/testing/devel/fp-compiler
No binutils or libc6-devel dependencies.
