Hi! I'm a total novice. I've installed Free Pascal on Linux Mint and
have tried to run a Hello, World program but get the following error.
I've googled around but can't find anything.

Any help will be appreciated! Thanks.

Code: [Select]marc@marc-Studio-1737
~/Dropbox/Nonwork/programming/pascal $ fpc 001_hello.p
Free Pascal Compiler version 2.4.4-3.1 [2012/01/04] for x86_64

This looks like bug in your program. Pascal program must always end
with "end" + "." (dot):
Code: [Select]  ...
  ...
end.

Ah. Classic stupid mistake. Thanks.

I thought it had something to do with the installation or something...
