Everything seemed to install OJ, but when I start the ide, the Free Pascal icon comes up, then disappears and the compiler doesn't run. I tried completely reinstalling but that didn't help. What ast do I try next?

Try starting it from a terminal. You will then normally see any error
messages that are output to the console. This should help us for further
analysis of the problem.
