Problems after installing Lazarus

[Carbonide]

I just installed the newest version of Lazarus after having tried it briefly a while ago (where it worked).

I followed the instructions closely (made sure everything is installed, and in the right order).

Now, when I start Lazarus I get the following error:

Code: [Select]

The system.ppu was not found in the FPC directories. Make sure fpc is installed correctly and the fpc.cfg points to the right directory.

After dismissing the message, I get the following one:

Code: [Select]

The following package failed to load. excml_lazarus (>=0.0.0.122) See Project -> Project Inspector

I have simple projects where this seems to be of no consequence, but others refuse to compile, so my question is what can I do about it?

Thanks for any suggestion.

I had this message for a certain project, not for all of them.

Whar kind of Mac and what Lazarus version are you using? On Intel Mac there is a bug with case-sensitive file systems which may lead to such strange errors.

[Carbonide]

Yeah, I'm on an Intel Mac, but I do not use a case-sensitive file system.

Yeah, I'm on an Intel Mac, but I do not use a case-sensitive file system.

Would it make sense at this point to install a more recent snapshot?

Maybe before you install it, you could remove all old Lazarus and FPC files. There's a list here:

This script is available here:

You can modify it in a couple of places for your version.

You could also delete the hidden ~/.lazarus folder if you really want to start clean. This is where the list of recently opened projects, etc. are stored.

Thanks.
