I got Lazarus install and it appears to run but when I attempt to
compile a project it errors immediately with "unable to find glib".
 When I check the installed packages it shows glib as installed.  How
do I tell Lazarus where glib is located?

The problem is not the absence of glib itself, but the associated
development header package, which will be called glib-dev or glib-
devel. You will also need gtk-dev(el) and gdk-pixbuf-dev(el).

Problem lazarus and Fedora 5

You probably need to edit /etc/fpc.cfg then. Find the section
'searchpath for libraries' and edit it to suit your system. On my SuSE
system I have to add the line -Fl/opt/gnome/lib but it will be
different on Fedora.

Here it is important to have the exact error message, the keyword is
'unit'.

See Lazarus FAQ.

Because of the fact the exact error message was not posted, other
people who were trying to help, were led in the wrong direction. :-(
