Lazarus freezing on open...

[victorhelsing]

I seem to recall there is a way to start lazarus "fresh" without prior loaded projects, etc.  Can't remember how to do it.  Presently, I cannot bring lazarus up (after attempting to install a couple packages into the Lazarus IDE, nothing is working).  I did uninstall lazarus using Synaptic package manager, and reinstall using the original rpm, without success.  Even attempted deleting the .lazarus directory in my home directory, without success.


I recently installed the latest snapshot of lazarus with associated fpc, successfully.  Lazarus came up, appeared to work fine.  I compiled two packages and prepared to install them (link them into lazarus)...had some problems initially with missing gtk libs, etc...Finally managed to link lazarus.

However, now when I try to bring it up I get errors and no GUI appears after initial splash image.  However, lazarus is running according to system monitor.

Any help would be appreciated.

Did you tried deleting the "~/.lazarus" directory? It contains the configuration. May be something is break on it.

Also, what is the distro you're using? And what are the exact names of the packages you did install? Remember to tell us version number too.
