problem with easylazfreetype

[ronhud]

I have uninstalled Lazarus and then reinstalled it.   Trying to run a previous project I now get the following message:-

the unit easylazfreetype occurs twice in the unit path of the ide

What should I do in response to this?

Maybe:
make distclean  REM (cleans more than a simple make clean)
make bigide

Thanks Bart.   I know nothing regarding make - can you offer any further advice on carrying out your suggestion?   I have tried 'Clean and Build'  from the IDE menu, is this the same thing?

The first step which helps in many of these compilation issues: Go to "Tools" > "Configure Build Lazarus" > in the "Clean up" box check "Clean all" and "Switch after building to automatically" > click "Build". This results in a clean build. When the IDE restarts after a while the issue probably will be fixed. (If there is an error delete the lazarus.exe and rename "lazarus.old.exe" to "lazarus.exe" (on Windows) to at least get a working IDE again.)

Thanks - this issue now fixed.
