See FAQ:
When compiling lazarus the compiler can not find a unit. e.g.: Fatal: Can't find unit GLIB
Edit the right config file.

I looked at the FAQ and there seems to be a substantial ammt of post-install configuration required, when can we expect a more comprehensive install script or distro-specific rpm's made avail.  I understand that the main focus is on developing the app however, it seems like many non-guru coders will not feel comfortable using Lazarus until this occurs, any help w/ easier (i.e. a complete/scripted and/or rpm/deb/etc.. install) would greatly improve the way new programmers and win32 "defectors" appreciate Lazarus.  Thanks in advance for any of this additional help you (or someone out there) could provide.

There are rpm's and a win32 installer available at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=89339

They are supposed to work right out of the box, no with post-install configuration.
If you find any problem with your configuration afterwards, please tell, so it can be fixed.

You can build Lazarus in following steps:

1.Download fpcsrc****.tgz
2.extract it to i.e. /home/xxx/fpc
3.Copy the makepack script form /home/xxx/fpc/install to the fpc-root dir.  I.e. to /home/xxx/fpc
4.run makepack
5.now you have an file named fpc-xxx.tar
6.extract it
7.run ./install.sh
8.if you run fpc then it must show as version your new compiled version
9.if it show an ppc386 error, create a new link in /usr/local/bin with :
  ln -sf /usr/local/lib/fpc/1.9.3/ppc386 /usr/local/bin/ppc386
10.extract the lazarus source
11.run make
12.if you get the error GLIB not found, edit the fpc.cfg
   include
  -Fu/usr/local/lib/fpc/$version/units/$target
  -Fu/usr/local/lib/fpc/$version/units/$target/*
  -Fu/usr/local/lib/fpc/$version/units/$target/rtl
   and run make
