Hello.
I installed fpc 2.2.0 on Sabayon from source. (Sabayon is based on
Gentoo).
Then tried to install Lazarus 0.9.24 from source, by "make clean all",
but I got error during linking:
Linking ../lazarus
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgdk
lazarus.pp(114,1) Error: Error while linking
lazarus.pp(114,1) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module,
stopping
Fatal: Compilation aborted
make[2]: *** [lazarus] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/home/zlatko/LAZARUS/lazarus-0.9.24-0/lazarus/ide'
make[1]: *** [ide] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/zlatko/LAZARUS/lazarus-0.9.24-0/lazarus/ide'
make: *** [ide] Error 2

What is lgdk? What am I supposed to do?
Please, let me extensive explaination, because I don't have experience
in Linux usage...

Thanks,

Zlatko

you need to install something like gtk+-devel (don't know the Sabayon
for this)

Recent versions might not install gtk1 by default.

You might like to try (as root):
emerge --nospinner =x11-libs/gtk+-1.2.10-r12

I switched to OpenSuse linux, for now...It seems to be easier for
Linux beginner like me....
