Can't install Lazarus in Mandrake 10.0

Hello.
I am a new Linux user and I am trying to install Lazarus in Mandrake
10.0.
I downloaded the three required RPMs, plus the "devel" library
required by FPC setup.
I installed them in the following order by double-clicking on them:

1) fpcsrc-1.9.8-050225.i386.rpm (rpm reported "all installed" :shock:
)

2) fpc-1.9.8-0.i586.rpm (no message appeared at the end of process, so
I think setup went fine)

3) the "devel" library (no messssage appeared at the end of process)

4) lazarus-0.9.6-fpc_1.9.8_0.i386.rpm: setup stops with a message (in
italian, in my case) stating that the condition fpsrc>=1.9.8-0 is not
satisfied.

What should I do?

Hi Mateo! Finally you try Lazarus!

I have a step-by-step installation that works in Mandrake 10.1... Or
almost as you can see in my post...

I am banging my head on this...
Moreover I am working on just 1 HD because the other one is dying (see
my signature in my forum at http://forum.zipgenius.it ), and MDK is
installed in VirtualPC: that is forcing me to make a large amount of
space in order to get MDK working.
Where is your setup guide?

The credit of the explanation belong to Mr. Michael Van Canneyt.
A belgium guy. He has been patient...

Here is the path:
Go to http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group id=89339

As root download:

fpc-1.9.8-0.i586.rpm
fpcsrc-1.9.8-050225.i386.rpm
lazarus-0.9.6-fpc_1.9.8_0.i386.rpm

(The wizard who give me the formula suggest) Go to the directory
/usr/local/src and install them in that order:

rpm -i fpc-1.9.8-0.i586.rpm
rpm -i fpsrc-1.9.8-050225.i386.rpm
rpm -i lazarus-0.9.6-fpc_1.9.8_0.i386.rpm

Lately the already mentioned wizard tell to use "-nodeps" in the last
"rpm" because there was an error when I run the last "rpm" under
Mandrake 10.1. The last "rpm" syntax:

rpm -i -nodeps lazarus-0.9.6-fpc_1.9.8_0.i386.rpm

Then, everything's alright. There are only little problem:

I can't link edit my programs. But I already report this problem int
his forum and I expect that people will solve it.

I saw another explanations to install Lazarus. But they are tooooo
long and complex. I almost gave up when read them!

greetings old friend

And thanks to Michael again!
