Hello,

Today I wanted to install Lazarus 0.9.26. I downloaded all the files
in "Lazarus Linux I386 RPM" and installed them. But when I wanted to
install Lazarus, I got the message :

Some packages can't be installed: Lazarus 0.9.26-0.i386 (because of
incomplete usr/bin/make), proceed with installation?  (This is a
translation from the Dutch message, so the English message could be
somewhat different).
What is wrong, and what should I do?

Willie

I think you don't have the package that contains /usr/bin/make. It is
required by Lazarus.

You need to install gnu make - look for package make in software
management.  While you are at it, you will also have to install a
package containing "ld" - I used package gcc for this.

Added: Also install libXi-devel, otherwise you will get an error about
ld not finding -lXi when compiling.

You can also have a look at

Hello,

Thanks, I was indeed missing the packages you mentioned.
I also installed the libXi-devel, allthought this was not mentioned in
the wiki.

Thanks again.
