Well, I checked the Disk Utility and everything looked good.
I am going to go ahead and reinstall Lazarus, along with the respective files. However, I have two questions:
1.) Are there any scripts for uninstalling the FPC and related packages through the terminal? If not, what is the best way to completely uninstall everything and start from scratch?
2.) What files/setup would you suggest that I install on this next attempt to get Lazarus running?
This will be the third time that I have tried to correctly install Lazarus, FPC, and the respective packages; I really want this to be the last time. I just want to teach myself Object Pascal.

find . -name fppkg.cfg [enter]
find . -name fppkg.cfg 2>/dev/null [enter]
If that does no find anything, and you have some time to spare -Code: [Select]find . -name fppkg.cfg 2>/dev/null [enter]
find / -name fppkg.cfg 2>/dev/null [enter]
???I must say here that I am not a big fan of the 'reinstall model' - especially when it becomes a habit. There is no intrinsic reason why you should need to reinstall. Yes, I know is necessary with Windows because of the DLL mess but macOS is, sort of, Unix. My point is that it would be nice to workout why this is necessary before reinstalling, Otherwise, we risk having to do it again !
Don't you mean:Code: [Select]find / -name fppkg.cfg 2>/dev/null [enter]

I will start a new thread upon reinstallation if I run into any more problems. I am convenience that this is an error on my part and I am just too ignorant of all technical stuff to make Lazarus work that I don't notice it.
