Did you get the "-with-gcc" binary? (The one without will only work if you have the exactly matching GCC version already installed -- unlikely in this case).
I've already tried a naive hack of putting a link to the libgcc.a that's several levels down in the /usr/lib/gcc-lib hierarchy in /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib to no avail.
I'm thinking of installing the newer version rather than mucking around further. Would one of the newer (beta) version fix this issue?
Should be independent of this issues, but of course, it fixes a number of bugs on the Pascal side. (And it contains some incompatible changes, esp. the `external' syntax, so if you start something new, it seems better to start with the new version, lest you'll have to convert things later when upgrading.)
