Because FPC didn't found a proper codetools.ppu.
This can mean:
- it is not there
- it is there, but it is only a left over from a broken compile
I hope someday fpc will report two different errors messages for this.

The IDE "simply" calls 'make' with some flags. You can start the IDE  
in a terminal and see what it does.

If you use svn, I recommend to use your home directory (e.g.  
/home/you/pascal/lazarus). Then you won't mess up your linux package  
system and you can easily clean up if something went wrong. Don't  
forget to set the lazarus directory in the environment options.
