Nice! Now I know what to do tomorrow 
Thanks all

Congratulations! Now we can continue to develop highest quality software, using the best programming language of the world.

Enterprises pretend like Pascal is a forgotten language, and Oberon does not exist at all. But who cares about the enterprises. The crippled languages they offer (Java, C#) are not even able to compile into native machine code. Those virtual machines do not have any scientific value. Excuse me, but we won't write any code for imaginary machines.

If we also consider the fact that C++ is a systems-programming language, we can easily realize that we don't have any other choice than Pascal for professional software development. Object Pascal is the only programming language in the world!

Thanks for this! But nobody use Lazarus on MacOSX?

Scrollbox functionality is completed broken (under Carbon allways visible BOTH scrollbars). Under Cocoa scrollbox don't do anything (ScrollBy). http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=30910

Even Lazarus IDE have issues with this (in editor, in project options)

Helllo,

I have installed 1.6.4 over 1.6 and tried to compile a proyect resulting in this error:

xxxx.lpr( , ) Fatal: no puedo encontrar Interfaces utilizado por ....,
ppu incompatible=c:\lazarus\lcl\units\i386-win32\win32\interfaces.ppu, paquete LCL

[jma_sp]

I have tried to rebuild Lazarus and get similar error with lazfileutils

Must make a clean install?

You might try Lazarus-qt4. I have packaged it as fink package. Contrary to carbon it is even 64-bit. Although it is ugly as it could be, but lazarus-gtk2 is second option.
