Hi

just installed FPC/Lazarus in a virtual Ubuntu 15. Installed using
*.deb from https://www.lazarus-ide.org/

Now when compiling an empty project, have the error:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/fpc/3.0.4/units/x86_64-linux/rtl/cprt0.o:
unrecognized relocation (0x2a) in section `.text'

This may not be helpful, but I have multiple installations of Lazarus
1.8.4 on Ubuntu 16 installed in VirtualBox from deb files that run
fine. I don't have any information on your error messages however.

I install the following:

  fpc_3.0.4-2_amd64.deb
  fpc-src_3.0.4-2_amd64.deb
  lazarus-project_1.8.4-0_amd64.deb

It has worked well for me.

Cheers,
VTwin

EDIT: I assume Ubuntu 64 bit?

I've installed the same *.deb but not working. 
Yes I've Ubuntu 64 bits, but the version 15.
What version of gcc you have? I've upgraded to gcc 5, but get the same
error.

It looks like 7.11.1. I made no changes from the default installation.

EDIT: You said gcc, not gdb, I'm confused. I could be wrong , but I
don't think gcc has any significance here.

Afaik (reading the linked description) you need to update "ld" ->
according to the link, that is binutils

Hi Martin.

I'm triying to update binutils to 2.30, but my Ubuntu says I need
libc6 >= 2.27, and I have 2.21.

Then when I try to update "libc6", it says "break existing package
libc-bin dependency < 2.22".

EDIT: Even when trying isntall binutils 2.26 (I have 2.25) with:

Quotesudo apt-get install binutils-2.26
I get:

QuoteReading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree      
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package binutils-2.26
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'binutils-2.26'

Maybe you can consider to use newer versions of Ubuntu. Ubuntu 15 is
not a LTS (long-term support) release, its support has expired on July
2016. You will be difficult to upgrade certain packages when using
unsupported version. Current stable version of Ubuntu is 18.04 LTS.

I checked binutils package for Ubuntu, none of them is available for
Ubuntu 15:

OK. I will update to a newer version.
