I had to install Lazarus again on my new Mdv 2008. It is running, but
having some troubles on building with svn update, I just tried to re-
install the 0.9.24, and then rebuild all for gtk.  It is not even
possible, I got an error message just after JIT complete:

Fatal: Can't find unit ComponentTreeView used by AllIDEIntf  :shock:

How can that happen ? I had the 0.9.24 running fine on my previous
system release, updating from svn, and I don't see how that could have
something to do with the system release.
I can see that IDEIntf is not in the compiler path, but as far as I
remember, I did not modify the path previously.
Anybody could give me a help  :?:

How do you build the svn? I mean, did you overwrite your 0.9.24 with
svn version? If you do, uninstall everything, install 0.9.24 again,
build the svn version in the different folder from 0.9.24. Use command
line, there's a makefile on the top directory that will do it.
Updating Lazarus by overwriting old version isn't recommended as there
may be units added/removed/changed.

In fact, I already uninstalled lazarus, but from the MCC.
Following your answer, I decided to try it again, but looking the
lazarus directory, I noticed that /usr/lib/lazarus/lazarus.app was out
of date. So I re-checked after uninstall, and saw that removing from
MCC does not clean the directory, and that is probably the mistake.
Finally, deleting /usr/lib/lazarus before installation seemed to be
the solution: I can rebuild again, for gtk or gtk2.

Thanks for your answer Leledumbo
