fpc installed but not found
« on: October 06, 2015, 07:11:00 pm »
I have installed fpc 2.6.4 by extracting fpc-2.6.4.x86_64-linux.tar and running install.sh. No problems.

I am now attempting to run lazarus_1.4.2-0_amd64.deb but the package manager gives an error stating a dependency on fpc >= 2.6.4.

Why can it not see fpc 2.6.4 is installed?

Machine is running Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon 64 bit

Have you try to perform a clean installation? Remove them all and reinstall. You may interested to try the latest version (Lazarus 1.4.4 + FPC 2.6.4-150228):

Thanks, Handoko

It was a fresh installation. But I'll try the new release if I can get it installed.

You're installing fpc from the tar archive and attempting to install lazarus from the deb package. The two don't know each other. deb only knows dependencies against other debs. tar archive knows nothing about dependencies.

Even then the problem exists:
- installing fpc from deb (bin + src)
- trying to install Lazarus (from deb) gives an error if an older fpc version was there too (installed by default on a clean Ubuntu desktop).
The package mgr will not see the newer fpc. It only works probably when no previous fpc was there.
All posts based on: Win10 (Win64); Lazarus 2.0.10 'stable' (x64) unless specified otherwise...

Thanks guys

I'm new to Linux after many years with Windows. These details are not immediately evident to a newbie.
