Well the problem isn't requiring a compiler never released, the problem
is a bug that's in 1.0.6 that causes a buffer to not resize properly,
corrupting form files.

And, 1.0.7 is released on the FPC site, just nobody has bothered to
update the Debian packages apparently...

You don't want to run a buggy compiler do you? ;-)

If you want a quick and easy tutorial on installing FPC for use with
Lazarus check my website at:

I recently used these exact instructions to install 1.0.7 on a Debian
distro.
