You must recompile all depending units as well. I recommend to
rebuild the whole fpc.

Check that the right fpc.cfg is used and it contains the paths to your
private fpc installation, and not the paths to the normal fpc
installation.
For example check in Lazarus  View / IDE Internals / About FPC,
CfgFilename and UnitPaths.
