I managed to install and compile Lazarus on Mandrake 10.1 official DVD
My order :

1) Install kernel-source-2.6-2.6.8.1-12mdk from DVD

2) Downolad files from http://rpmfind.net/
libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0-devel-2.4.9-9mdk
libgdk-pixbuf-xlib2-0.22.0-5mdk
libgdk-pixbuf2-devel-0.22.0-5mdk

and install
# rpm -i --nodeps libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0-devel-2.4.9-9mdk
# rpm -i --nodeps libgdk-pixbuf-xlib2-0.22.0-5mdk
# rpm -i --nodeps libgdk-pixbuf2-devel-0.22.0-5mdk

3) Create symbolic links
 linux:/usr/lib # ln -s libgdk-1.2.so.0.9.1 libgdk.so
 linux:/usr/lib # ln -s libgtk-1.2.so.0.9.1 libgtk.so
 linux:/usr/lib # ln -s libglib-1.2.so.0.0.10 libglib.so
 linux:/usr/lib # /sbin/ldconfig

 linux:/usr/X11R6/lib/ # ln -s libX11.so.6 libX11.so
 linux:/usr/X11R6/lib/ # ln -s libXi.so.6 libXi.so
 linux:/usr/X11R6/lib/ # ln -s libXext.so.6 libXext.so

and compile Lazarus

Thanks a lot!

The above procedure (without installing the kernel sources and
installing Lazarus from rpm) works fine also on Mdk10.0. Heck, it
saved me from re-installation of Mandrake!  Thanks, Jirka!

Cheers
Mike

Hi,

I have written a procedure for installing Free Pascal Compiler /
Lazarus
on Mandrake 10.0 Official using the TAR files available on the
official site.
You will find this procedure on my site at:

http://alain.jdhosts.net/procedures/InstallLazarus.html

Although it seems to be "low level" I have put some effort
in having it very accurate.

I have also used this procedure on many computers.

Sincelely

TStatictext --> TLabel

Those who want to upgrade to FPC 2.0.0, Lazarus 0.9.8 should know the
following:

I have just upgraded from:

Lazarus 0.9.4
FPC 1.9.6
Mandrake Linux 10.1
kernel 2.6.8.1

to:

Lazarus 0.9.8
FPC 2.0.0
Mandrake Linux 2005 limited edition (10.2)
kernel 2.6.11.6

I have a medium size aplication  that I was wooried would not compile
anymore! Well...  Everything went OK except for one thing:

They have improved the "TLabel" object. It now suports different
fonts, font size, color, etc... Therefore they have removed the
"TStatictext" !

If you are in a similar situation as this one, I suggest that you
REMOVE ALL the TStatictext object that you have in your application
BEFORE you install the new version. This way, the project code will
load in the new IDE.  The easiest is to change ALL:

TStatictext --> TLabel

and then when in the new IDE you will change the properties like Font,
Size, color, etc... If you keep just one TStatictext in your project,
then lazarus will just crash. and prevent you from changing the code.

Sincerely

Alain Michaud
