The tutorial is quoting the Lazarus GUI but at a later point in time
in the steps to install FPC and Lazarus. I have managed to get VTK
server running but only after manually starting it. But it is not yet
needed.
I am now in an SSH PuTTY shell trying to install fpc and Lazarus.

As I already posted I followed the tutorial and got to a make error
basically complaining about a missing file in the fpc source tree.
This is in the first make command in the tutorial where fpc trunk is
going to be built from sources using fpc 2.6.4 for arm-linux.

This is a problem I have no chance to fix....
