I emailed yesterday about an error when compiling in Linux. The error I received was "Error while linking."
I figured out that the permissions on /usr/bin/ld is set to root, and I'm logged in as a different user. When I sudo fp to start Free Pascal, I am able to compile without a problem.
Just wanted to share the solution.

What are the permissions exactly ? You should be able to execute ld as normal
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 444104 2006-06-08 04:09 ld
You would think that would allow me to execute it as a normal user. The only thing I shouldn't be able to do as non-root, non-root-group member is write it, but...
I was going to copy and paste the output to prove that it didn't do it, but when I tested it this time, it did work. I swear that the error said it couldn't find /usr/bin/ld. I just did ls, saw it there, with the root ownership, and then ran sudo fpc sockser.pas, and the error went away.
