Problem with every new snapshot update - help

I have installed lazarus few times, but always had problems with
upgrading to new snapshot.

here is what happens:

1. fpc and fpc sources  RPM installs OK
2. It overwrites my FPC.CFG  (that is bad, my paths disappear)
3. rpm -Uvh lazarus-0.9.23-20070414.i386.rpm  complains
fpc-src = FPCSRCVERSION is needed by lazarus-0.9.23-20070414.i386

4. if I use rpm -Uvh lazarus-0.9.23-20070414.i386.rpm --nodeps
it installs but when lazarus is started it is old version.


OK... what I want is that I am able to upgrade to new snapshot version
without loosing .cfg and to be able to work immediately

What should I do or how should I do it?

Try this :

download the latest snapshot :
ftp://ftp.hu.freepascal.org/pub/lazarus/lazarus-0.9.xx-2007xxxx-
src.tar.bz2
decompress it in your lazarus directory (mine is /usr/lib/lazarus)
and do "make" in this directory.
Then rebuid lazarus using the widgettype you usualy use.(i do it with
gtk2)

That way you dont loose your fpc.cfg

I think I just fixed this dependency problem with the rpms. You can
try tomorrow's snapshots.
