Problem 2.2.0 installing on Ubuntu Gutsy
lazarus / 1-Linux

----------------------------------------------------------------------
MrBaseball34 · 2007-12-13 03:28

Downloaded the "one big file" here:
    ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/dist/i386-linux-2.2.0/fpc-
2.2.0.i386-linux.tar

Unarchived to /home/eddie and ran "sh install.sh" from /home/eddie.

Tried entering /usr or /usr/local and kept getting errors, so just hit
enter key and it installed.

However, Lazarus complains that it can't set the FPC directories

Can anyone help out here?

Go to Environment Options, there's a box entitled "FPC source
directory", change it to the correct one. Normally, it should be
"pathwhereyouinstallfpc/fpc/2.2.0/source". Wait! The one you
downloaded is the binary only, you must download the source (and you
may delete all but rtl and packages directory).

I was unaware that I downloaded the binaries only.

Hi,
I recommend to use the Debian packages which you can find on the
FPC/Lazarus site.
You can download all and install them over " dpkg -i fp* ".

I have normally only my lazarus directory in my home.
I leave the fpc system in the responsibility of the package
administration.

Regards,
Tibor

All the deb downloads I've seen are individual package files. I do not
know in
which order to install them.
