Cannot find -lgtk (when linking)

[Ger]

When trying to compile a simple project (initial form + 1 button added) I get :
TOutputFilter: "Compiling /tmp/project1.lpr"
TOutputFilter: "Linking /tmp/project1"
TOutputFilter: "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgtk"
TOutputFilter: "project1.lpr(12,1) Error: Error while linking"
TOutputFilter: "Closing script ppas.sh"

Running on Suse 9.0 with KDE 3.2

Any ideas appreciated

Have you read the FAQ:

And this topic: http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=146
Does it help you?

All .dev's are installed (or at least so reports the SuSE installer )

is /opt/gnome/lib/ part of your fpc.cfg ?

Adding the line to fpc.cfg crashes the IDE

Problem solved.
It's not Lazarus or fpc, it's my machine (Athlon 1.1 Ghz) that's going awry.
I tried it on an Intel 800 Mhz and a 2.8 Ghz and it worked okay on both.

That badwindow now and then pops up. It is something with debugging, gdb, X and lazarus
I'm investigating it, however the problem disapeared here (no clue why)

My workstation is a NIS-client and I suspect that to be the reason. After disabling NIS I reinstalled Lazarus and FPC, they both work okay now. Will try to track down what the problem is because NIS is the standard installation here.
