I downloaded free pascal for mac osx and I discovered that it wont run on OSX Lion :(

as Apple has removed X11 and other modules etc out of lion so basically have to go back to snow leopard to make it work, but I have Lion installed.

So any suggestions to get it working on OSX Lion?

Thanks

2) Apple did not remove X11 from Mac OS X Lion (and I'm pretty certain it's even installed by default), however
3) FPC does not require X11 in any way

What FPC does require is that you first install the developer tools (Xcode). That is also what the installer says if it is missing, and when reporting problems it is useful to mention exactly what you did and what the results were (because right now I'm just guessing about what you did and what might have happened).

I believe Xcode 4 is available as a free download from the appstore if you've purchased Mac OS X Lion.
