Fatal cannot find SysUtil used by Project1[solved]

[daivid]

I have just switched to a new version of Lazarus and my current project compiles without a problem but when I added a unit I got the above error.  Older units use the SysUtil unit without creating problems. The version of freepascal is 3.0.  I assume that I need to set a path somewhere but what?

I am using Lazarus under Fedora Linux.

When I run Lazarus from a terminal this is the output when I try to compile:

From the error message it seems more likely that you try to set focus on one of your controls before its containing form has become active.
Or perhaps the offending control's parent has not been set when you try to set the focus to it.

After failing to get the new unit to run I tried starting a new project from scratch which had no controls at all.  It I include SysUtil in the uses line it fails to compile.  If I remove SysUtil it compiles.

(It was the command line output from the new trial project that I posted above - I should have made that clear - sorry)

Thanks for the quick reply but I still don't understand the problem to see a way to a solution.

Do you mean the SysUtils unit (it is plural, with an 's' at the end)?
Anyway if an empty project does not compile with a uses clause containing only valid RTL units, then something is wrong with your installation.
You may need to uninstall and start over.
"...fails to compile" - do you see an error message?

The problem was the missing s.   
I must have made a mistake when I copied and pasted.

When the old units still complied but the new one didn't it should have occurred to me to check to see whether they were really the same.

Thank you very much for sorting out my problem.
