Error compiling Lazarus on Ubuntu 5.04

Hi folks,

this is my first post. I use Pascal/Delphi for 15 years and I'll start
to port my applications to Linux and I will try FreePascal and
Lazarus.

1) download the source tar.gz and unzip on ~\lazarus
2) cd ~\lazarus
3) make clean all

And I got this error:

Fatal: Can't find unit Contnrs
Error: Compilation aborted
make[1]: ** [alllclunits.ppu] Erro 1
make[1]: Saindo do diretório `/home/josir/lazarus/lcl'
make: ** [lcl] Erro 2

My configuration:
Ubuntu 5.04
Make 3.80
FreePascal: 2.0.0 [2005/09/09] for i386

Any tip on how to fix it ?

So you installed fpc package? Using alien?

I think you also need to install the fpcsrc package (fpcsrc is really
the name of the package, don't install something like
fpc-2.0.0-.src.rpm, install the fpcsrc-2.0.0-i386.rpm). This package
includes many source units from the Free Pascal Compiler, witch are
used by lazarus.

Something else you could try is use alien to transform and install the
following packages:
fpc
fpcsrc
lazarus

Hi sekel,

Freepascal 2 is installed by default on Ubuntu 5.04 - and it's working
fine - I can compile fine with it.
The problem seems to be on Lazarus source code that can't find those
Contnrs unit.

Yesterday, I download again the lazarus source code using directly
subversion. But I got the same error.

Any suggestions ?
