[lazarus] Failed to create pipe

[Vincent Snijders]

The used compiler is definitely the cause of your problem. The 1.9.x fpc
compilers are beta's for the coming 2.0 version, and beta's ought to
have some bugs in them. ;-)

There are four options for you.
1. Use fpc 1.0.10, which you can download from
http://www.freepascal.nl/down-linux-i386.html.
2. You can upgrade your compiler to 1.9.1 by downloading a snapshot from
http://www.freepascal.org/develop.html#snapshots.
3. You can get the latest 1.9.1 using cvs. For instructions see:
http://www.freepascal.org/develop.html#cvs.
4. You can get until a new 1.9.x compiler is released. I don't know when
this will happen, but this could take another month.

HTH,
Vincent.
