Problem compiling
lazarus / 1-Linux

Well, this has probably been asked over and over before but I really
can't find a solution for it. I'm running Ubuntu 5.10 and decided to
try Lazarus. I downloaded the RPMs (fpc, fpc-source and lazarus) and
converted them to deb's using 'alien', then installed them. Lazarus
starts without any errors but when I try to compile an application I
get a message about not being able to find the unit interfaces or
sometimes the glib unit. I read a bit and and found out that I need to
rebuild Lazarus and try to do so, which results in an error: make:
../../units/gtk2 Error 1. Nothing more (I'm trying to build it with
gtk2, but it doesn't matter what I chose, it still quits with the same
error). What is going on? Lazarus and Freepascal seems like a really
good substitute for Delphi or Kylix so I'd like to get it working...

Alienated packages forget their dependencies ... this is probably a
dependency issue.

Do you have gtk-pixbuf, gtk+-devel, etc installed?? Does anyone have a
complete list of dependencies?

I have installed them now, no good. I also downloaded the gtk, gtk2 &
gnome .deb packages from freepascal.org and copied the included units
(which includes glib afaik) to lazarus' units folder. Didn't help at
all and for some reason the normal 'fp' to bring up the old freepascal
"ide" doesn't work either...

Just to make sure you got the correct source package, its name is
fpcsrc-2.0.1-050923.i386.rpm and not fpc-2.0.1...src.rpm

Hm. I'm not sure, but it seems like Lazarus / the FCC compiler is
looking in the wrong directory for the units. Anyone who knows if it
is possible to list the locations the compiler looks for the units?
The reason for this is that I've copied all the units the compiler is
complaining about (Interfaces, glib, gdk-pixbuf etc) to the lazarus
units directory but I still get the same error, Unit '...' not found.
I've also tried to copy them to the FPC units directory but without
any luck...

Edit: The FPC compiler of course, not the FCC :-)

What exact error? IMHO it is better to start over again, because
manually copied units will keep giving you trouble.

The thread's a bit old but you may not be the last to hit this issue.

I just sent a test lazarus program to a friend , it worked fine on his
suse-10 on my gentoo and my suse9 but he said it failed on Ubuntu with
missing libglib

error while loading shared libraries:
libglib-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory


looks like Ubuntu have not quite worked out that you need to symlink
minor lib versions. (In fact Ubuntu is an african name for a juvenile
penguin)

check what libglib version you do have and try adding the link most
distros will have :

 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2006-01-26 21:28 /usr/lib/libglib.so ->
libglib-1.2.so.0.0.10

[man ln ]
