I am a novice user of Linux. Previously, I installed Lazarus
downloading rpms and convert them to deb using Alien and installation
proceeded without problems. Now I see that in the daily snapshots are
generated deb package too. However, as I extract TAR archive that I
have plenty of FPC DEB packages. Now I don't know how to install them
because every moment I get an error that a package depends on another
package (which is located in the same directory). How to simplify and
install everything by one click/command?

I would install fpc by using the repository: http://wiki.lazarus.freep
ascal.org/Getting_Lazarus#Getting_Lazarus_from_our_Ubuntu_repository

Wow. Very convenient and fast way to install it. Do you know any trick
for install snapshots version of Lazarus too?
Anyway, I am curious how to install Lazarus standard DEB packages too

If you got to the situation that you install libraries such as those
two from .deb files, you're doing something wrong.

You should simply install libgtk2.0-dev from e.g. Synaptic and it
should resolve all the other dependencies automatically. Same goes for
the command line approach like "sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev".

Of course, installing Lazarus from the repository resolves all
dependencies automatically from the start.
