Well, I think the package is normally installed. But this package contains the sources to compile the package itself. Normally you don't need it. The package contains only two files: fpc-2.4.0rc1-src.tar.gz and fpc-2.4.0rc1.spec. It is installed in the packages-source dir of your system. On Fedora it is: /usr/src/REDHAT/... I think SuSe has another place for them.

Right, yes. It is /usr/src/packages.
I was looking for /usr/share/fpcsrc or similar like older Suse packages have.

I found the Programmer's guide under Documentation on free pascal web page. It doesn't really tell to run "make all" but that created compilers ppc1, ppc2, ppc3 and ppc386 anyway.

I am planning to use this svn version for Lazarus experiments. Is it a good idea?
I selected the compiler and executable there but Lazarus complained about fpc.cfg (and such) and doesn't work.
Maybe I will ask later from Lazarus list.

How to install fpc? Better ask here.

After 'make all' you have to do a 'make install'. If you do that as root it will install the new fpc system-wide. Maybe you don't need to adapt your fpc.cfg in that case. (You can find it in /etc/fpc.cfg)
