Problems to run Lazarus under Kubuntu 5.04

[new user]

Hi @all,

I got the rpm from sourceforge.net 0.98  with fpc 2 make with alien -d a deb-packag and then installed with alien -i without any problems.
But I am not able to set in the option the path to fpc source "verzeichnis"
what is going wrong
Thanks for any advice

Did you install the fpcsrc rpm (after alienating it)?

[Anonymous]

No I´ve not installed the compiler after lazarus. This was one package lazarus 0.98  with fpc 2.0 included, and this complete package I anlienated.
Any advice

Then I wonder where you got the package from and if it includes the sources of the fpc units. Normally a lazarus install consist of 3 rpm's: fpc, fpcsrc and lazarus.

which order to follow?

Is it correct? ->

#sudo alien -i fpc_2.0.1.rpm
#sudo alien -i fpcsrc_2.0.1.rpm
#sudo alien -i lazarus_0.9.10.rpm

The end?

Great! it work, but only with snapshot (33Mb)... why?

[Vincent Snijders]

I have no idea, why it doesn't work?

What goes wrong if you use the rpms from the release?

[Anonymous]

following the procedure it seem to install all ok, but there isn't any path as /usr/lib/fpc/2.0.0 and there isn't (in the menu) the Lazarus' icon. (The second thing [Lazarus' icon] there isn't also with 7Mb snapshot.

It work only with fpc 2.1.1 snapshot + 33Mb lazarus 0.9.11 snapshot... (but it rocks! :p)

I don't understand...

[Vincent Snijders]

fpc-2.0.1 should create files under /usr/lib/fpc/2.0.1.

What 7MB snapshot are you talking about? The only things close are the lazarus source snapshots ...

fpc (downloaded here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=89339&package_id=93718&release_id=361642) didn't create anything in /usr/lib/ but snapshot of 2.1.1 has created /usr/lib/fpc/... I don't know. (I used the same procedure)

About Lazarus snapshot I think that I am in error... I rechecked the rpm and it seem to be source. I'm sorry

[Vincent Snijders]

These are source rpms, you have to build them yourself to create installable rpms, I am not sure how to do that and I don't know if alien supports source rpms.

The equivalent of snapshot rpms in the release are these files: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=89339&package_id=93718&release_id=361635
