Hi
Background :  Not a programmer but have used Delphi since version 2

I have installed Lazarus from the PCLinuxOS repository and it loads
with all the expected parts.

Even with a simple program  it will not compile and gives the error
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lglib 

Is anybody able to help or is it back to Delphi

In hope

John

Thanks  to those who have replied. I have added some/all suggested
devel from the repository.
I too was surprised that they were not added automatically from
synaptic.

I can now build, compile and run my .pas files , and can run by double
clicking on the cogwheel icon if Lazarus is open, but not otherwise. I
still have a lot to learn but I will continue to try.

Thanks again

All seems to be working now, next I will try converting some of my
Delphi progs

john

You have to install some libgtk development tools, do not remember
which, just install some and try. Also install the x devwelopment
tools. And serash for something like libpuf (don't remember by hart).
It's a bit tricky the first time, but once you have done it, you know
how it works.

I meant pixbuf (as suggested below) not libpuf,

you need glib-devel
(and maybe the other -devel packages(X11,pixbuf,gdk...))

If Lazarus is installed from the PCLinuxOS repository, why are these
other libraries etc not listed as dependencies? The same thing happens
when installing lazarus *.deb files.

Just curious
