Missing Packages

[hexecution]

Hi all

I just installed Lazarus this week - never programmed in pascal / delphi before so I am very new.
I am using Win XP and I downloaded the .exe from this site and installed it.
I have GTK installed from when I installed the GIMP.
Once I installed Lazarus I tried to run some of the examples but I got error messages like this ...
'The following package(s) failed to load'
JPEGForLarazus and GTKOpenGL to name but a few. Is there anyway to install these packages? The documentatio(wiki) link on the left is giving me a 403 Forbidden message so I cannot access it.

Thank you
Hex

The gtk widget set is not supported on windows. GTK1 contained too much incompatibilities between the linux and win32 version, so it was deprecated and the win32 widget must be used on windows.

I have no problem accessing the documentation.

Thank you for that reply. How do I tell Lazarus to use the win32 widgets?

About the problem accessing the documentation - If I am logged in or not - or I try it from my home laptop or my work PC still I get the same 403 access forbidden error - could it be a New Zealand thing?

Thanks

Project, compiler options, first tab, LCL Widget Type, default (or win32).

Yes, that is possible, see this mail from the lazarus mailing list.
