The "Odyssey" of a programmer to Lazarus and Ubuntu Linux (Part one
x64Bit)
===============================================================

------------Install Tools/Libraries-----------------------
open a "terminal" and execute:
    1)   “sudo apt-get update”
    2)   “sudo apt-get install alien”
    3)  "sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev"
    4)  "sudo apt-get install libgdk-pixbuf-dev"
    5)  "sudo apt-get install libgpmg1-dev"

------------Download Lazarus 64 Snapshots-----------------
from "http://www.hu.freepascal.org/lazarus/" with Firefox
   1)lazarus-0.9.25-xxxxxxxx.x86_64.rpm
   2)fpc-2.2.2-xxxxxxxx.x86_64.rpm
   3)fpc-src-2.2.2-xxxxxxxx.x86_64.rpm
For sample:
   lazarus-0.9.25-20080814.x86_64.rpm
   fpc-2.2.2-20080814.x86_64.rpm
   fpc-src-2.2.2-20080814.x86_64.rpm
and save these files to "/home" folder

------------Build “deb” files-----------------------------
open a terminal at /Home directory and execute
  “sudo alien -c fpc-2.2.2*.rpm” (to build
fpc-2.2.2-20080814_x86_64.deb)
  “sudo alien -c fpc-src*.rpm”   (to build fpc-
src-2.2.2-20080814_x86_64.deb)
  “sudo alien -c lazarus*.rpm”   (to build
lazarus-0.9.25-20080814_x86_64.deb)

yes,this takes long time....

------------install 3 new deb files ----------------------
open "Nautilus" and click on new deb files
  1) fpc-2.2.2-20080814_x86_64.deb     (to Install)
  2) fpc-src-2.2.2-20080814_x86_64.deb (to Install)
  3) lazarus-0.9.25-20080814_x86_64.deb (to Install)

after instalation

lazarus  is at “/usr/lib/lazarus” directory
fpc      is at “/usr/lib64/fpc/2.2.2” directory
fpc-src  is at ”/usr/share/fpcsrc” directory

------------Rebuild Lazarus with GTK2 library ------------
Open Lazarus
"Applications>Programming>lazarus"

  hit "ok" to Error Dialogs......

Set at Lazarus Menu>"Environment options/" "Files" page
  Lazarus directory   : /usr/lib/lazarus/

Open "System>Administrator>Synaptic Package Manager"
 and Uncheck
