I am getting this error no matter what I compile:

Fatal: Can't find unit URIParser used by XMLRead

How do you solve it?

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried:
apt-cache search uriparser
liburiparser-dev - development files for uriparser
liburiparser1 - URI parsing library compliant with RFC 3986
and installed those,

then I did this: locate uriparser, and this comes up:
/usr/share/fpcsrc/packages/base/netdb/uriparser.pp
/usr/share/fpcsrc/utils/fppkg/fcl20/uriparser.pp

However it still does not solve the problem.

Tried:
sudo cp /usr/share/fpcsrc/packages/base/netdb/uriparser.pp
/usr/lib/fpc/2.2.0/units/i386-linux/fcl-xml/.

Got a different error:

What packages exectly?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
sundrop · 2008-05-12 14:41

I think he's right, but wasn't very helpful.  Try:

"sudo apt-get install fpc"

I think we need to install all these packages: fpc, fpc-source,
lazarus

Unfortunately it's not clear what is needed, I think if you install
Lazarus, it should depend upon those packages.  Would save alot of
pain and headaches for people new to Lazarus!!

Last message correct.  Ihad same problem. Got Lazarus & all its files
but had to go back & get the FPC files and install.  Works fine now.

what the hell isthis problem???

no one can solve this?

I have setup ubuntu 8.04 several times and try many of solutions shown
by many people!

unfortunately, none of the sentence solved this problem!

here is my last question, by many of developers;

is there any one in this world, that show us following steps;

1. setup fresh ubuntu 8.04
2. run command1, command2, etc...
3. that is all

???

thanks

This is instruction how to make Lazarus work on fresh Ubuntu 8.04:

1. Run Synaptic.
2. Search "lazarus" in Synaptic and install all found packages.
3. Search "fpc" in Synaptic and install all found packages without the
last on the list.
4. Lazarus is working.

Dear Sir (otonomi)
I think your problem is that your installation of FreePascal NOT have
all Files (*.pp,*.pas)
This happen because you are using <<Synaptic install of FreePascal>>,
is very OLD.

For solution I think, you must build Lazarus and FreePascal from
latest SVN source.
Please read all my    <<(HowTo):Ubuntu 8.04 ...>> posts are all step-
by-step procedures.

Sorry for the delay
