As the error indicates it can't find the rtl (run time library)
directory. As you listing above indicates you don't have that directory
so you must have failed to checkit out of CVS. Do everything you did
before just be sure to get the rtl as well. Copy everything from base to
the /opt/fpc directory as you figured out and then try the new_ppc
script again. I think this should do it for you.  :-)
