Lazarus on Linux: FPC source not detected
lazarus / 1-Linux

Upon installing Lazarus 0.9.18 from rpm on CentOS 4.4 (~RHEL 4.4) it
complains the source for FPC 2.0.4 is missing, despite that source
being installed from rpm prior to installing Lazarus. When installing
the Lazarus rpm with --nodeps, and then manually setting the source
directory for fpc in Environment, Lazarus works as expected. I have
rebuilt Lazarus from the source rpm and the problem persists. Now
synaptic and apt-get complain that I have a broken package on my
system. What gives? Thank you.

If you have installed a rpm-package with a date (like fpc-
src-2.0.4-yymmdd.i386.rpm) the packagemanager starts complaining. Only
way I found to solve this, was removing this package and then install
the package found on SourceForge.

It looks like the package manager is not smart enough.

What I have installed is fpc-src-2.0.4-0.i386.rpm and that matches the
fpc version I have. It's also the fpc src version on Sorceforge that
is supposed to match lazarus-0.9.18-0.i386.rpm.

I have same problem.
I have downloaded RPMs of latest lazarus (0.9.20), FPC(2.0.4) and FPC-
sources, and installed it. Just Lazarus don't want to install, because
it can't find FPC sources. I had same problem on my notebook, where
i'm using Aurox 11.1, and on my main PC, where i have just installed
Mandriva 2007

I'm new linux user, so it may be some problem with me, but i think
