For no confusion:

when I said 1.08fpc from gz packeage, I must said fpc-1.0.8.ELF.tar file (full fpc).

Hello everyone:

Mandrake have not compiled 1.07fpc for 9.1 version ¿? (no stable and no cooker). Where do you find the package?

You can install 1.08fpc rpm for RedHat and it is working OK.

Personally, I have intalled 1.08fpc from gz package and the CVS Lazarus, and all is right in Mandrake 9.1 updated. I not have to link any library.

Heres how I installed it on mandrake 9.1

Go to ftp://www.freepascal.org/pub/dist

Download fpc 1.0.8 as an rpm, as well as the source rpm for it.

Install fpc rpm.
Use mc to copy the actuall sources out of the src rpm to a directory of your choice.

Grab lazarus with CVS (as per the instructions on the lazarus site)

Compile lazarus.

At first run, Lazarus asks for the fpc source directory, point it to the directory you copied to.

FPC 1.0.7 has a bug with some units that wrap around header files such as mysql and sdl units.
You need 1.0.8 if you plan to do any normal fpc work as well, and probably if you intend to use such units (you probably do) from within laz.
