Using Ubuntu 6.10 under VMWare, I get an error when I try to compile any program. The error is not real descriptive, and isn't really helpful. It puts the error at the last line (end.) in the first column, and all it says is Error while linking. I've googled, and it doesn't look to be a 32bit v 64bit issue. I ran fpc -i, and the target cpu is listed as i386.

Any help would be appreciated.

I assume you are running this from some IDE ? The text mode IDE or the Lazarus IDE. It would be instructive to try and compile from the command-line, this way you'll get the complete error message.

In the case of Lazarus, start lazarus from within a console window. The error messages of the compiler and linker will then also be displayed on the console window.

Michael.
