Help!
I am trying to install Lazarus into Suse 10 and find myself totally
confused about which files I should be using.
History:-
Downloaded (dialup!) and ran
rpm -Uvh fpc-2.0.0_0.i586.rpm ---  no problems
rpm -Uvh fpcsrc-2.0.0-0.i386.rpm ---  no problems
rpm -Uvh lazarus-0.9.10-0.i386.rpm ---  Failed dependencies.
fpc=2.0.1-050923 is needed by lazarus 0.9.10-0

next downloaded and tried tried
rpm -Uvh lazarus-0.9.8-fpc_2.0.0_0.i386.rpm ---  No warnings thrown
up, but it happened very quickly, and I cannot find lazarus anywhere
in the directory structure. Even a search turns up nothing. It's as if
nothing happened.
I have now downloaded over 90 megabytes on a dialup connection and
basically got nowhere, so I am obviously doing something wrong.
Can someone please tell me which files go together, with maybe a
little guidance through the full procedure (including how to remove
any bits I need to from the above efforts).
I have downloaded and read the Installing Lazarus guide, but it lists
files which no longer exist at Sourceforge.

That message is saying that you need at least fpc=2.0.1-050923 and you
only installed fpc 2.0.0, so try to get the proper fpc version for
0.9.10 if you can, otherwise you may have to settle for the 0.9.8 and
2.0.0 package. As far as what got installed on your system, the
package manager ( I think it's yast on Suse ) should be able to tell
you what got installed. I would suggest that you don't keep multiple
versions of fpc or lazarus. Keep installed only what you need. So
either Lazarus 0.9.8 and fpc 2.0.0 or Lazarus 0.9.10 and fpc 2.0.1,
etc.  Just as a side note it is curious that the rpm Lazarus 0.9.10
needs fpc 2.0.1, as I thought fpc 2.0.0 should be good enough, but I
guess the rpm packaging has it's own restrictions.
