No, I made it from the distribution file.

I made all those steps but I fall in the same error I had when I tried to 
compile lazarus into my home directory, i.e.

-----------------------
Compiling masks.pas
Fatal: Can't find unit Contnrs used by Masks
Fatal: Compilation aborted
make[1]: *** [alllclunits.ppu] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pino/lazarus/lcl'
make: *** [lcl] Error 2
----------------------

Sure I need to put something into fpc.cfg !

At present it has:

-----------------------
# searchpath for units and other system dependent things
-Fu/usr/local/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget
-Fu/usr/local/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget/*
-Fu/usr/local/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget/rtl
#-Fu~/fpc/packages/base/*/units/;~/fpc/fcl/units/;~/fpc/rtl/units/
-----------------------

It is 

/usr/local/lib/fpc/2.4.0/units/i386-linux/fcl-base/

that contains Contnrs, so I imagine that fpc.cfg is not properly interpreted 
as its second -Fu should include it.

Thanks for you patience

Pino
