Depending on what version of Ubuntu you use, the easiest way to install 
the source (assuming you installed fpc through synapctic or similar) is 
to type the following in a terminal:

sudo apt-get install fpc-source

I think the default install location is /usr/share/src, but i'm not sure 
of that.
