Don't add the lcl directory to any path. Compilation will be slower and you
can run in some more problems. For example 'Unit not found interfaces'.
I'm not sure what you mean with 'Source Dir' and 'fpc dir'. Here are some
notes:

Environment -> Environment Options -> Files ->
Compiler path = e.g. /usr/bin/ppc386
FPC Source Dir = the directory of the freepascal sources, 
                 like compiler, packages, fcl, rtl. 

The Project -> Compiler Options -> Search Paths should contain the paths to
the LCL. Just create a new application and have a look.

You don't need to edit any config file manually.
