Hi Anthony (and everyone else):
I ran into a minor glitch (I saw this before, but it went away with your latest fix). I don't know exactly why it went from working to not working, but I found out what it was doing wrong.
Lazarus was working fine through multiple re-boots, running as root and debugging code using h2wiringPi. The entire system hung when I went to do something on the Main Menu (the Raspbian one) so I had to power down (pull the plug) and reboot. When it came back this time, I started Lazarus and it complained about not being able to access *ppcarm* because it couldn't find *system.ppu* and please check*fpc.cfg*. When this happened before, I found *system.ppu* where it belonged and *fpc.cfg* hadn't changed either). After a bit of debugging (hacking, really), I found that it had changed to using*fpc-2.6.4*. I don't know why but *which ppcarm* showed */usr/bin/ppcarm* which was linked to *2.6.4* (as was*/usr/bin/fpc*). I changed the links to point to */home/<mydir>/Development/FreePascal/fpc/bin/ppcarm* and Lazarus started working correctly again.
I had uninstalled *2.6.4* using *apt-get remove,* but that doesn't seem to have finished the job (manual *rm -rf* killed it for good).
I don't know what caused it to change to */usr/bin/fpc* and */usr/bin/ppcarm*, but now that they are linked to the Development version (and *2.6.4 *is totally gone) everything is working again.
