[lazarus] Failed to create pipe

[A.J. Venter]

ppc386 -h reveals:
Free Pascal Compiler version 1.9.0 [2003/11/05] for i386


Which is the latest I could find on the freepascal website. The reason I
downloaded from there and not from the lazarus site is that lazarus site
only has RPMS,  I am on slackware, and the fpc rpms are notoriously
incompatible with rpm2tgz (as I learned from experience) so I downloaded
the "one big tar file" - picking the latest one I could find.
