sudo apt-get install lazarus

sudo apt-get install lazarus

What version of lazarus is installed with this command?

Edit: this install lazarus 0.9.28.2-12 fpc 2.4.0 in ubuntu 11.04 spanish

And how can I install a current snapshot version on Ubuntu Linux?

I have deleted the old Lazarus/fp installation by using Synaptik Package program.

I have downloaded:

lazarus-0.9.31.31635-20110710.i386.deb.tar
and
fpc-2.4.4.1.i386.deb.tar

I have unpacked the containing 64 deb files to a temporary directory. Double clicking to one of the files nearly always generates an error message: (I try to translate to english)

Error: incorrect dependencies
(original german: Fehler: Abhängigkeit kann nicht erfüllt werden: fp-ide-2.4.4 (= 2.4.4-1))

You can hardly find the problem when you double-click. Rather go to console and type something like:

Code: [Select]

dpkg -i fpc-2.4.4.1.i386.deb
OK, maybe with 'sudo'. You will know more (missing dependencies etc.).

Last time I used "one big file" (on 64-bit Linux). It also worked well. Only unpack 'tar' and type 'sh install.sh' (or 'sudo sh install.sh').

Thank you for the "dpkg -i" command hint. Using a joker character solves the dependency problem:

Code: [Select]

dpkg -i fp*.deb

After updating the old wrong path names in Tools- Options by hand, all seems to work fine.
