Hello.

Did you read the error message yet? It says, there's no unit graph. there is,
however a package called graph, which is not associated with what you wnat from
the compiler. However, I looked into things:

martti at deepthought:~$ pacman -Ql fpc | grep graph
fpc /usr/lib/fpc/2.6.0/units/x86_64-linux/graph/
fpc /usr/lib/fpc/2.6.0/units/x86_64-linux/graph/Package.fpc
fpc /usr/lib/fpc/2.6.0/units/x86_64-linux/graph/ggigraph.o
fpc /usr/lib/fpc/2.6.0/units/x86_64-linux/graph/ggigraph.ppu
fpc /usr/lib/fpc/2.6.0/units/x86_64-linux/graph/libpggigraph.a
fpc /usr/lib/fpc/2.6.0/units/x86_64-linux/graph/libpptccrt.a
fpc /usr/lib/fpc/2.6.0/units/x86_64-linux/graph/libpptcgraph.a
fpc /usr/lib/fpc/2.6.0/units/x86_64-linux/graph/ptccrt.o
fpc /usr/lib/fpc/2.6.0/units/x86_64-linux/graph/ptccrt.ppu
fpc /usr/lib/fpc/2.6.0/units/x86_64-linux/graph/ptcgraph.o
fpc /usr/lib/fpc/2.6.0/units/x86_64-linux/graph/ptcgraph.ppu

After a minimum of testing I found that pascal units are stored as ".ppu"
files. Then I tried this: "uses ptccrt, ptcgraph" - and it compiled.
My pascal knowledge is very limited, and the first program pops away just after
it is started... maybe you could wait for X keyboard events or add an endless
loop.

cheers!
