A bug in LCL Base

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,
I had Lazarus on openSUSE 13.2 for few years running no problem until
I made possible update couple months ago.  When I decided to run it,
it fail to build/compile/ and run a simple Application (blank form).
Instead I am getting an error message:

Compiling package LCLBase 1.4.4: Exit code 1, Errors: 1, Warnings: 1
Warning: Recompiling FPCAdds, checksum changed for System
lclproc.pas(33,44) Fatal: Cannot find FPCAdds used by LCLProc,
incompatible
ppu=/home/adam/.lazarus/lib/LazUtils/lib/x86_64-linux/fpcadds.ppu,
multiple packages: LazUtils, LCLBase

Could someone please report it in a Bugtracker.   Also I would
appreciate suggestions how to fix the above mentioned problem.
Regards.

Quoteppu=/home/adam/.lazarus/lib/LazUtils/lib/x86_64-
linux/fpcadds.ppuThis path seems strange, I have never seen ppu's in
my config directory. Also, did you build with clean or distclean?

I guess it will be used if Lazarus own directory is readonly, as
commonly happened if Lazarus is installed from OS repository.

I had seen a similar problem before. Do you have a unit called System
in your project folder, search path, or unit output folder? any of the
following names will cause this problem:
System.pp, System.pas, System.ppu, System.o

It finds an old fpcadds.ppu, but can not find the source. That is
while building the package. Maybe that unit was moved/renamed, and the
ppu is from the old install.

try to remove the folder /home/adam/.lazarus/lib
and then recompile/build clean

compiled it without cleaning because I was unable to clean it.  The
system would not allow to clean it.

I uninstalled both fpc and lazarus, rebooted.
then tried to install rpm of fpc version 3.0
 ....problem ....
1. fpc.debuginfo file is missing
2. fpc.src will not install (mime issue)
3.  lazarus.rpm will not install because 2. is not installed
decided to go back to suse repo that has old version 1.4.4 of lazarus
and reinstalled fpc and lazarus
problem again,
when starting lazarus I am in  welcome in lazarus ide windows and in
tab of compiler in configure lazarus ide.   It shows me an error
message:

Error: system.ppu not found. Check your fpc.cfg.

Thanks for reply to my question and suggestions.
I fixed it.  Steps I did.
1) uninstalled lazarus 1.4
2) unistalled fpc 1.4
3) downloaded all three files from Lazarus folder for my OS. (fpc,
fpcsource, Lazarus)
4) installed them in the same order
5)  A small glitch. During the start up it could not find rtl folder. 
 Fixed it and test run a blank form app.
6)  Run nicely.
My previous mistake was that I downloaded fpc and its source from fpc
web.
So far Lazarus is fine.
Thanks.
