Greetings from a new member of your mailing list.
I have used Gnu Pascal for some time on a Windows 10 64-bit environment.
I decided to try it on a Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon machine with x86_64
processor
I downloaded gpc-2.1-with-gcc.i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz to
/home/peter/software and installed using:
cd /
tar xzf /home/peter/software/gpc-2.1-with-gcc.i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz
I tried the simplest of programs: Hello.c:
program hello;
begin
writeln ('Hello Pascal world');
readln
end.
and compiled by gpc -o Hello Hello.pas
to get, to my dismay, not as on Windows but on Linux:

What am I doing wrong? Can you please advise?
