Aargh! I copied the link of the search results, but it does not work
like I expected.
All right, so just enter suse in the keywords and you will see some
postings with regard to installing Lazarus on a SuSE-box.

Sorry, about the not so good link.

aaaaahhhhhhh
just found out today that on suse the gtk+ package is named "gtk" and
not "gtk+" like other distros

Then if you are really sure that you have all the packages, you can
force (or skip dependency checking) the lazarus rpm:
rpm -i lazarus-0.9.9-20050926.rpm --nodeps

The problem with this solution (--nodeps) is, that after that you
don't get apt-get to work. It is always proposing to deinstall lazarus
to clear the dependencies (--fix broken). If you don't you can not run
a normal dist-upgrade. So there must be another way to deal with the
well known problem that SuSE is handling gtk-files while lazarus is
demanding gtk+ Any reason not to take care of this in the packages? I
appreaciate any help in this, as I'm trying to install lazarus on SuSE
9.3 now for two days. The hints in the forum are *not* a reliable
solution.

Working SuSE rpm-packages of Lazarus for the i686.
I have altered the .SPEC file of the source package.
gtk1,2 and development versions are needed instead of gtk+-dev.
