Lazarus 0.9.29 error compiling (ubuntu 10.04)

[xinyiman]

I've downloaded from the following page

http://www.hu.freepascal.org/lazarus/

Linux AMD64 debs file Lazarus lazarus-0.9.29.26103-20100621.amd64.deb.tar

I install everything correctly but when I go to add lazreport and recompile, I returned the following errors. It happens on any new component that I go to install. Why?

Help please

Permission problem? Make sure you have write access to /usr/lib/lazarus (and folders below)

[xinyiman]

For security, I went into /usr/lib/

and typed the following command

sudo chmod 777 -R lazarus

This would solve the second what you say. Instead, the issue is still there.

[xinyiman]

No idea on that?

No idea on that?

The rights must be enough for /usr/lib/ directory. You should either install as root or install to your home directory as normal user.

Well since he's been able to compile ide units, I don't think permission is the problem then. Anyone know what resource compiler is used on Unix platforms?

@xinyman:
Please right-click messages window and choose "copy all and hidden messages", paste the result here (just 10 lines around the linker error message).

is what I did in the first post

[Leledumbo]

Hmm...very unclear. I used to get this too, but I forgot how to solve it. Sorry, this is the best I can think of right now.

[xinyiman]

Ok thank you. If you should come to mind let me know. To clarify, I have a 64-bit architecture.

Solved: I uninstalled the old version, deleted the /usr/lib/lazarus and /home/$user/.lazarus

and so I reinstalled

svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk lazarus

make

Now everything works! I avoided using the Daily Snapshots.

Had today the same problem.

For mine the install was sparring with a former installation (the default deb for ubuntu /usr/lib/lazarus/092....) while the install from the sources installs in usr/local/share/lazarus.

So the simplest solution is to remove /usr/lib/lazarus and ~/.lazarus. and reinstall. Than at first startup lazarus complains that /usr/lib/lazarus/09... does not exist. Let it complain.
I hope this helps
