[linux]Installing mySQL-package only as root?
« on: January 02, 2005, 08:43:00 pm »
Hi,

I tried to install the mysql3laz.lpk from /usr/share/lazarus/components/mysql. This didnot work off course, due to the fact that an ordinary user doesnot have any write-rights in the directory. :)
But copying the necessary files to my home-dir and installing the package from there didnot work as well. :(
Lazarus did a rebuild, but after the restart, the status of the package was still  "install at next start" (or something similar) Only after I started Lazarus as root and did the install, the package got fully installed. There was no (visible) error code.
Is this how it is to be or is there something wrong?

I think it is a general thing. When you want to install a package in Lazarus (under Linux) you have to have root-permission. I tried to install the IB-package with the same effect.
