Still an installation issue
lazarus / 1-Linux

Hi, I'm new to fp/lazarus. I installed from the rpm files using alien
(I'm using Kubuntu.) Lazarus started fine. When building an empty
project, I got an error "can not find unit glib." Then I created a
\etc\fpc.cfg and put these 3 lines in it:

-Fu/usr/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget
-Fu/usr/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget/*
-Fu/usr/lib/fpc/$fpcversion/units/$fpctarget/rtl

Then the empty project compiled and ran fine. Then I added a button in
the form, and double click on the button to open its event handler, I
got an error:

"The component editor of "TDefaultComponentEditor" has created the
error:
'Unable to find method. Plz fix the error shown in the message
window.'"

The message windows says:
"/usr/lib/lazarus/lcl/lclclasses.pp (32,3) Error: unit nout found:
Classes"

So, there are more settings needed to set the paths?

Did you install the fpc sources, i.e. the fpcsrc rpm?
If so, check that the path to the fpc sources is set correctly in the
Environment Options, Files tab.

I think alienated rpms forget their dependencies....
