[lazarus] File "/home/amead/interfacebase.pp" not found

its looking in the home dir probably because you have managed to screw everything up with having multiple config files. Since Upgrading rpms or removing rpms afaik will remove or backup configs I can only guess, but either you have been forcing rpms to install instead of upgrading or removing first, or as you say the rpms are broken. I would check for what fpc rpm's you have installed and then just remove them all. make sure all fpc and ppc386 configs are gone from the search path(both home dir and /etc), and install over again with a fresh install of the lazarus fpc and fpcsrc rpm from sourceforge(NOT the .src.rpm unless you know what you are doing). Then get a fresh copy of lazarus source from cvs and try a simple make, then run from the current directory the resulting ./lazarus and try and run a simple program. If that still doesn't fix it then I am clueless, there is only so much you can do to screw it up if you follow the proper way of doing things.

I'm definitely a beginner at Lazarus.  I've used freepascal for a
while.  I'll delete the extra file when I get home.  I have two
questions:

(1) What does the error message about interfacebase.pp mean?  Why
would the file be in my home directory?

(2) I've always installed from RPM but maybe my rpm is broken or
something, I've had this "file or directory not found" errors on
other src packages.  Is there a short outline for how I would get the
sources (i.e., a tarball or use the installed src RPM) and make them
from scratch?
