I've tried to install Lazarus on several Linux systems, without any
success :-(

My preferred system currently is openSUSE 10.3 64 bit, but I can
install any other Linux in a virtual machine.

On said system I'm running into the glib issues, which also has been
reported by other users. The linker (correctly) states that no libglib
can be found, though I have both glib-1.2 and glib-2.0 installed
(standard installation). Should I add a link manually?

The FAQ is not very helpful and possibly outdated, e.g. I don't have
any -Fu entries in fpc.cfg (fpc 2.2.2).

Lazarus installs and runs find on Windows, but since I want to move to
Linux, I need Lazarus even there. Please help!

For Single-Architecture 32 or 64 bit I use Ubuntu 8.10
For Multi-Architecture 32+64 bit I use Fedora 10

look at "CodeTyphon" Project at

Have you tried lazarus as source and install that way, I found when
using the rpm or deb version you have to have root permissions to run
otherwise you get linking errors, also if you are getting these errors
when you compile you also need the development versions installed as
well i.e. libglib.dev

Some people will hate me saying this,
but I found the most convenient way to install and use Lazarus on
Linux, to install Windows installation executable by using Wine
emulator...

I've installed Lazarus and FPC last week on openSuse 11.1 via Yast
without any problems.

I've installed Lazarus on Ubuntu 8.04/8.06 without any problems using
the package manager. You can't install the "bleeding edge" but it
works. Lazarus is registered, and there is not particular difficulty.

I've also installed Lazarus on the eeePC running its own version of
Linux, but it was quite painful, converting rpms etc. In the end, with
some obstinacy, it was also successful, but I had to manage the
dependencies myself.

Best of luck. Happy new year.

If this is the same issues that I describe in the other thread, then
it can be solved by manually adding a symbolic link. Have a look here:

Personally I have had little luck when installing lazarus from various
repositories, but installing from source works great once all little
compile issues are sorted out.
