I've currently installed lazarus 0.9.2.4 and fpc 1.9.5
Can I savely "rpm -Uvh" the new version, or should I first remove the
old version? In both cases the install of fpc 1.9.5 seems to take
forever.

You have to install 1.9.6 not 1.9.5, i guess updating should work.

Well that's what I meant to say. The install of epc 1.9.6 takes ages.

Did the install with -Uhvv  so I could see what was happening.
Everything worked out all right. So I can go on with me article.

I run Slackware so I don't deal with rpm's. I usually install from
source. This is how I installed fpc 1.9.6 and lazarus 0.9.4:

1) Went here and downloaded the following file:

ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/beta/i386-linux-1.9.6/fpc-1.9.6.i386-
linux.tar

2) Unpacked the above file. Then entered the command "sh install.sh"
as superuser. Installed in /usr/local.

3) Downloaded the latest lazarus from sourceforge (I notice that you
can get fpc 1.9.6 from here as well)

4) unpacked the downloaded file and ran "make clean all" at the
command line as a regular user.

5) Ran lazarus, made sure to point to the source code of fpc (which
for me is in /usr/local/share/src/fpc-1.9.6/ and that's it.
