On my debian system I place it anywhere - we haven't decided on an official location - however for ease of typing in your fpc.cfg search path or IDE search path it will be good to place it in a terse or short directory such as /etc/pwu-1.6.0.0/ instead of something like /home/joe/web/devel/pwu-1.6.0.0/ which takes long to type and get right.

It also depends if you share the computer and you don't think others using the PC will ever use it. For the directory structure, I keep the same structure layout as on SVN:

something like:

/etc/
/etc/pwu-1.6.0.0/
/etc/pwu-1.6.0.0/config/
/etc/pwu-1.6.0.0/docs/
/etc/pwu-1.6.0.0/examples/
/etc/pwu-1.6.0.0/extras/
/etc/pwu-1.6.0.0/lib/
/etc/pwu-1.6.0.0/main/

Yes I was rally mad when I first discovered the bug after releasing 1.6.0.0, I was going to release a 1.6.0.1 which fixed minor glitches like this - but didn't get around to it yet.

I thought that since Pascal was case insensitive, the path would work - but I guess it would be too slow for the fpc compiler to search all combinations of mixed case directories such as vErson, veRsion, vERsion, etc. etc..
