When I try to compile anything, even the simplest program, I get: /usr/i486-linux/bin/ld: cannot open crt0.o: No such file or directory

Perhaps the versions of GCC and GPC you are using don't coincide. Please check the following:

gpc -c myprogram.pas gcc myprogram.o -o myprogram

i.e. compile with GPC, but link with GCC.

Did you already check that crt0.o is in a directory where GPC can find it? I remember some problems when I had crt0.o in the directory /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-unknown-linux/2.6.3. The problems disappeared when I moved the file to /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib.

Good luck,

Peter
