Unable to find file "datetimepicker.pas" -- SOLVED -- Sort of.
Tomki:
Wow thank you very much. I almost gave up on this topic.
Regarding TRon's comment "You installed Lazarus/FPC into a directory where you do not have sufficient write permissions." - This is not the solution, because if you install Lazarus from the DMG file on macOS, you have no choice regarding the installation directory. It automatically ends up in the application folder.
Meanwhile, I did the installation again by compiling the source code, which doesn't create a permissions issue.
Therefore, it is still a miracle to me why only this one component “Datetimepicker” has this permission problem during the DMG installation?!?!
Anyway, as long as dormitionskete's advice helps, that's fine with me!
Thanks again!
Thomas

I don't think it is only this component, but it is first component that gives error and stops compilation.

Yes, you are absolutely correct. The only other option to circumvent that is: do not use the dmg package of the release version to install but install Lazarus from source (again, into a location where you do have the rights to be able to create the package).
So either use trunk/main or install (release version) from source. Those are currently the only two flavours that are available as an option in order to circumvent the issue. Do note afaik because I can't test/verify myself.
But..is this (still) an issue that affects recent Lazarus 3.2 release ?

Yes, as astounding as it is, this still does affect 3.2 release.
It really is terrible optics for anyone looking into Lazarus for the first time.
FPCUPDLX to the rescue!

Bummer.

I do not disagree with that point of view.

Or build Lazarus manually. At least then you have a chance to be Dexter instead of Dee Dee (each to its own though) :)
