By far the most likely reason for that to happen is that you installed
mismatched versions of gpc*b.zip and gcc*b.zip.  They must be from the
*same* version of GCC, since gpc*b contains only those parts of the
GNU Compiler Collection that are specific to Pascal.  The ground work
is all in gcc*b.zip, the C compiler package.

Do 'gpc -v filename.pas', and thoroughly read through what it prints.
If you still can't make heads or tails of it, redirect it to a file:

	redir -eo gpc -v filename.pas > testcompile.log

and show it here.
