Having installed Lazarus on a Ubuntu distribution, the IDE starts up
happily, but the component toolbar is completely empty.

Is there something I should be doing to get the components visible?

Thanks!

How did you install Lazarus? Did you use the "Add/remove applications"
program?

I used the Synaptic loader. Does that make a difference?

I also run Lazarus under ubuntu 7.10 . I suggest that you use synaptic
to uninstall it (right click - completely remove) and then:
search for 'freepascal' in synaptic and install all available packages
and then follow this guide :

For me it worked (also, to have a nice-looking IDE you should start
lazarus from a terminal with "sudo startlazarus" and rebuild the IDE
for GTK2).

EDIT : In orfer to get the latest stable version you can use the
Lazarus Ubuntu repository( Check out this thread : http://www.lazarus.
