I downloaded the RPM version of FPC and Lazarus.
FPC installs correctly and when I test the installation it gives no
dependancy warnings.

But when I try to install the Lazarus rpm file it complains about a
file named libgdk_pixbuf.so.2 and another one I unfortnuately forgot
and I'm not in front of my linux box right now.

I looked on the hard disk for this libgdk_pixbuf.so.2 file and found
it in the following folders :

/usr/lib/vmware/lib
/usr/lib/vmware/libgdk_pixbuf.so.2
/opt/gnome/lib64

The first two folder contains the 32 bits version of this lib.
The last one is the 64 bits version.

When I force to install with the --nodeps option it installs fine but
complains again on this libgdk lib when I try to launch it.

How can I make Lazarus check for all those libs or where do I have to
put it to make it run ??
That's my only problem. I've got the libs, both in 32 and 64 bits but
Lazarus just can't find them ?

Thanks.

I've installed Lazarus on my system and it works fine, but when I try
to compile my source file lazarus throws the following error message:

/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible
/usr/lib/fpc/1.9.6/units/i386-linux/rtl/cprt21.o when searching for
/usr/lib/fpc/1.9.6/units/i386-linux/rtl/cprt21.o
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find
/usr/lib/fpc/1.9.6/units/i386-linux/rtl/cprt21.o
Error: Error while linking
Closing script ppas.sh

I looked in /usr/lib/fpc/1.9.6/units/i386-linux/rtl/ but cprt21.o was
there.
I changed the rights of cprt21.o but nothing happen.
I ran lazarus as root user but nothing happen.

I can imagine what I 've done wrong.

Thanks a lot.

One think that could explain your problems, is that your ld is
targetting x64 (64 bit code), while you are using i386 object files.
