I just installed SuSE 9.1 and I'm trying to use Lazarus. Seems that
everything works fine, but the problem with SuSE: can't find lgtk! I
changed the fpc.cfg just like posted in the FAQs, but the error still
occurs.
Maybe anyone can help me with this?

I just solved the problem myself! I copied the necessary library files
to the usr/lib/ directory. Now everything works fine.

I added the line -Fl/opt/gnome/lib to /etc/fpc.cfg and linking works
fine!

Well, I've seen that post, and I changed the fpc.cfg, too, but nothing
happened... :-(
I copied (you must be logged in as ROOT) the following files:
opt/gnome/lib/gtk and /gtk2 the whole directories, any library that
has a filename which starts with "libgtk" AND "libgdk" in
opt/gnome/lib. Just copy them to usr/lib/ . (And don't forget to
create the directories gtk and gtk2!)
I did it with Konquerer logged in as ROOT. Just drag and drop the
files... ;-)))

You don't have to (and you shouldn't) copy those files

If you get this message:
1) check that the lib path is passed to the compiler (as in the
previous messge)
2) make sure you have installed the gtk-devel packages (or create a
symlink the libgtk.x.y.x.so -> libgtk.so)

this is a FAQ btw.

Yeah, I know I shouldn't  do that... but it works for me and thats
enough. (Maybe another person really shouldn't do that, because you
water down your distribution...)
