<p>I have been trying to upgrade to lazarus 1.6.2 on <b>Linux Mint
Sarah</b> with no success. After days of failure, I decided to
revert to 1.6.0 using the .deb files from SourceForge. Then using
Synaptic for 1.6.0. Lastly using apt-get from the command line.
In all cases, the installation of <b>fpc </b>fails.<br>
It used to work till I started this upgrade.<br>
</p>
<p> All attempts to get fpc working fail, essentially the same way:</p>
<p>┌[ 2001 2.3.0 19:30:33 ~ ]<br>
└> fpc<br>
The program 'fpc' is currently not installed. You can install it
by typing:<br>
sudo apt install fp-compiler-3.0.0<br>
┌[ 1994 2.3.0 19:30:35 ~ ]<br>
└> sudo apt install fp-compiler-3.0.0<br>
[sudo] password for donz: <br>

</p>
<p>Repeating the apt install gives the same result.</p>
<p>I tried:</p>
<p>┌[ 1998 2.3.0 19:54:00 ~ ]<br>
└> fp-compiler-3.0.0<br>

<p>When I start lazarus, it complains that it can't find the
compiler: /usr/bin/fpc<br>
It recommends that I try /usr/bin/ppcx64</p>
<p>/usr/bin/ppcx64 is a link to a non-existent file.</p>
<p>I tried everything I can think of for the compiler with the same
results.<br>
</p>
<p>Help, please!</p>
