Can someone tell me how to get Lazaruz up and running on SimplyMepis?

I've tried the script for n00bs, and it completes, but even though I
can't find lazarus anywhere on my machine....

Please help, my future depends on it... (hmm, thats questionable :-D)

Are you using Mepis as Live CD or have installed it ?

Try this URL :
http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/kb/index.php/Installing_Lazarus

and download Lazarus and FreePascal from :
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=89339

Have a good lucky

P.S. On Fedora Core 3 it work fine.

Exsume form my bad english.

ok, think I've installed it now...
But offcourse there's more trouble:

When I start up the program my screen flickers red and yellow - blink
blink blink and so on...
it stops when the splashscreen dissappears.

now when i hit F9, I get this error message:

I'm not sure if this is correct, but I'm sure someone will correct me
if it's not. Run 'updatedb' as root (it'll take a few minutes), then
'slocate glib.ppu' to tell you what files contain that string and
where they are. You should make sure that the path to glib.ppu is
listed in the /etc/fpc.cfg file.

For example, the location of the file on my system is:
/usr/local/lib/fpc/1.9.8/units/i386-linux/gtk/glib.ppu

My /etc/fpc.cfg file has these lines included:
-Fu/usr/local/lib/fpc/1.9.8/units/$fpctarget
-Fu/usr/local/lib/fpc/1.9.8/units/$fpctarget/*
-Fu/usr/local/lib/fpc/1.9.8/units/$fpctarget/rtl

But these lines should already have been added when you installed fpc
:?. Anyway hope this helps.

Also make sure compiler and compiled units match, so don't try to use
a 1.9.9 compiler with 1.9.8 compiled units.

Therefore it is safer to use:
-Fu/usr/local/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget

After installing wine & Delphi 7 in SimplyMepis 3.3, I have also
installed Lazarus 1.9.8 as follows
=======================
1) download files (ex. version 1.9.
fpc-....i386.rpm
fpcsrc-...i386.rpm
lazarus-...i386.rpm

2) convert .rpm to .deb (as root)
alien -k -c fpc*
alien -k -c laz*

then install the deb-files
(Hereafter Lazarus is automatically in the K-menu)

3) produce a configuration file (as root)
cd /usr/lib/fpc/1.9.8
sh ./samplecfg /usr/lib/fpc/1.9.8 /etc

4) Edit file fpc.cfg in the folder /etc
(if there are missing slashes for paths then correct it, for ex.
 Fuusr ==> Fu/usr
 Frusr ==> Fr/usr  )

5) install packages
apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
apt-get install libgdk-pixbuf-dev

6)start lazarus for programming.
================================
Maybe this can help you !
