test.bas() error 23: File not found

I'm trying to run a simple FreeBASIC program:

Print "Hello World"

However when I try to run it, it gives me these errors:

yamboy1@laptop:~$ fbc test.bas
test.bas() error 23: File not found, crt1.o
test.bas() error 23: File not found, crti.o

This is not the same as this post

Solution

  • This seems like a 32-bit / 64-bit mismatch, as if ld is looking for a 32-bit gcc toolchain. Did you by chance install the 32-bit FreeBasic?

    It seems you are on a 64-bit machine, so if you did, try grabbing and installing the 64-bit version from:
