Hi, I've installed Lazarus in Ubuntu 5.10, but when I try to launch it
can't find the libglib 1.2. Ubuntu has the libglib 2.0 installed, I've
created links to the 2.0 version libs but it doesn't works. Do I have
to install the 1.2 version libraries? Have somebody installed Lazarus
in Ubuntu 5.10? I'm very new to Linux so probably I'm doing something
wrong...

Thanks! (and sorry for my english, I'm Spanish)

Hi there

I have Laz installed on Kubuntu 5.10, it's basically the same system,
so I think I can help you. Here's what you do (in console):
as libglib1.2 and libglib2.0 are separate packages, check whether you
have the first one installed:
Code: [Select]sudo dpkg -s libglib1.2 | grep Status
if it says:
Status: install ok installed
then I don't know, what might be the problem. but I bet, it'll say
that it isn't installed. If so, let's get it installed:
Code: [Select]sudo apt-get install libglib1.2
wait until this command terminates, and you're done. Now you should be
able to start Laz without problems.
If the problem persists, try removing and installing Lazarus again.
Should you still have any problems - give a hint.

Cheers
mike

P.S.
I suppose you know how to open konsole - if not, here's where it is:
KMenu -> System -> Terminal Program (Konsole)

Thanks for your answer. I've used the Synaptic package manager to
install the gtk and glib 1.2 and now Lazarus starts ok. Now I have
problems trying to compile, but I've not tested it a lot... if I can't
solve the problems I'll post here again
