errors in lazarus snapshot of Aug 14th?
lazarus / 1-Linux

Target system Linux Ubuntu Feisty (7.0.4) 64-bit processor.   Fpc
installs correctly and have installed fpc-src as well, both using
"alien"

The first one may be a once only file download glitch.   In trying to
compile lazarus from source I got error at line 3835 in
pascalparsertool.

The line is a debug statement and had corrupt characters that failed
to terminate the string, hence the error.

So just in case this is not my bad luck in downloading ... :-)

The second is in ide/lazarus.pp where the include for revision.inc
errors.   Line 37 if I recall correctly.   "Could not find the file."

Thinking this may be another downloading glitch I tried deleting and
re-typing the offending line but no joy.   Then I looked for the
revision.inc file and found it in /usr/lib/lazarus/ide/revision.inc  
A previous included file (ide.inc) which was loading correctly I found
in /usr/lib/lazarus/ide/include, so I copied the revision.inc file
into that subdirectory too.   No benefit.

Finally I just deleted the include statement in lazarus.pp and
substituted the (one line) contents of revision.inc and that made it
compile okay.

Now it is stumbling on a missing glib during linking, but I suspect
that I'm needing to load glib-dev and friends, since this is otherwise
a brand new Ubuntu installation :-)

Kind regards,
Denis
