MacOS Lazarus Problems - New to Lazarus
trev:
@Jonas: Mattias fixed the FPC 3.2.0/3.2.2 issue and replaced the FPC files on Sourceforge on July 26 with the fixed versions.

It won't compile even that simple program you suggested @trev. I tried compiling it in Lazarus and I received the same error message about the LCL.
By the way, when you suggest using a terminal, are you talking about the terminal that I can find in my Utilities folder in applications or the Lazarus terminal?
If not could you please explain further?
I apologize for my ignorance, I am not the most tech-savvy individual.
By the way, on my configure window, when opening Lazarus, I did not configure the fppkg file and just left it as is. I did not notice anything in the installation wiki that talked about what to do with it. Could this be causing the issue?

C_K, trev means the Mac's own terminal, not involving Lazarus at all. Lazarus and FPC are two different products, if FPC is not working, there is no way that Lazarus is.

Can you please tell us the error message you got when tried the compile Trev suggested ? You may need to type it into this window, word for word, carefully please.

Hmm, I did not read your last line before my previous answer. Are you saying that when you first started Lazarus up, and the dialog that steps through four or five tests (such as make, fpc, fpc source etc) gave you a warning about fppkg ? If so, them it is probable your FPC install is incomplete. A good, package based install should not leave fppkg unconfigured. I doubt that your problem is fppkg itself, its just that if fppkg is not setup, them the FPC install itself failed some how.

Alright, so I tried to compile test.pas in the terminal and it returned this message:
fpc test.pas
Free Pascal Compiler version 3.2.0 [2020/05/31] for x86_64
Copyright (c) 1993-2020 by Florian Klaempfl and others
Target OS: Darwin for x86_64
Compiling test.pas
Fatal: Cannot open file "test.pas"
Fatal: Compilation aborted
Error: /usr/local/bin/ppcx64 returned an error exitcode
Not really sure where the problem is; nor am I sure that I ran the test correctly in the terminal.
I have attached a screenshot of the configuration page with the ffpkg selected for your information @dbannon.
I appreciate the help fellas!
