You will have to download and install the fpc and fpc-src packages
(click on Download Lazarus on the left of this page) and select
Lazarus 0.9.24 i386(i guess - could be x64) DEB. Then download fpc-
all, extract and install all debs.
Also you will have to install libgdk-pixbuf-dev (>= 0.17.0) and
libgtk1.2-dev (I have never used mepis and don't know if there is a
package manager such as synaptic or apt-get, but if there is one it
should be fairly easy to install these packages)
