Unable to find file "datetimepicker.pas" -- SOLVED -- Sort of.

That has done it! Thank you very much. Looks like I was missing the .lazarus folder step only as of your last post.

Also happy to reconfirm the datetimepicker.pas issue seems to be fully resolved!

Many thanks to fpcupdlx for keeping us running in the meanwhile

Thank you!

It's not solved here.

I am incurring this problem with Laz 3.6 on Debian 12. Installing the Debian packages versus the Lazarus builds made no difference.

I will try changing permissions and see if that helps.

Edit - I also got the following message:

"Warning: Recompiling DateTimePicker, checksum changed for /usr/share/lazarus/3.6.0/lcl/units/x86_64-linux/lclintf.ppu"

I was having problems with Laz 3.8 and Ubuntu 24. Tried to install Zeos Lib and got the unable to find datetimepicker.pas error. Done a couple of things and finally get rid of it. As some people report permission problems, I find out Laz dir in /usr/share/lazarus/3.8.0/ and confirmed it was owned by root, logically as it is under /usr/share but as I'm the sole user user of my machine I did a: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /usr/share/lazarus/3.8.0/ and the problem is gone, installed zeoslib and recompiled Laz successfully. That's not too much safety but as I'm the sole user I will take the chances by now but as soon as I can, I'll try to migrate everything to /usr/local/share/ or to my home dir. I didn't know about this issue before, and I compiled a fresh new installation without too much attention where it was going like a default. WIll try this before I start to have many projects.

Hi Fabs_Muller

WIll try this before I start to have many projects.

You should have a look at 'FpcUpDeluxe', it does exactly what you want, namely install in your home-dir...
You can find it HERE.
