OK, then my next question is: I have a number of Lazarus releases installed where 3.0.4 is the fpc used. So they all used the same and there was no problem. (This is on Ubuntu Linux 22.04 btw and I install everything from sources) But if I now install fpc 3.2.2 as well I will have 3 different versions of the compiler and the Lazarus-es are set up to use different versions (3.0.4 and 3.2.0 respectively). It seems like Lazarus on first start needs to determine the location etc of fpc and it saves it inside the pcp dir of the respective version. But it also seems like on each system there is only one version of fpc that can be "active" (at least on Linux) because its config is stored outside of the pcp dir in a user global fashion. How can I make the fpc compiler versions co-exist and be recognized by the respecive versions of Lazarus? And how can I change the newly installed Lazarus version 2.2.6 to use fpc 3.2.2 (when it is installed) rather than the 3.2.0 that it found during first start?
