I just installed Lazarus and fpc on Fedora 12.  I put in a simple
program to try it out and got aan error message that it can't find the
user interface.  I looked thru all the threads and tried all of the
solutions discussed for them and still can't get it working.  I have
attached a screenshot of the screen where it is showing the error. 
Any Help would be appreciated.

Hi, skalogryyz!
Hello from freepascal.ru!

I think it wouldn't enough. If Lazarus was installed from RPMs, tmecs
should launch Lazarus as root to do that.

or modify dir access to writable for the current user.

Thanks for the help.  I discovered that the version of  lazarus that
was in the Fedora repository is 0.9.26.2 and the version of fpc is
2.2.4.  I tried downloading 0.9.28.2 and 0.9.28 as rpms and with both
I was given a dependency problem.  I finally downloaded the gzipped
source file for 0.9.28 and compiled it.  It now works.

Maybe you missed gtk-devel packages

Where can I find the gzipped sources ?

I have the exact same problem on fc12; I downloaded the rpms from
sourceforge, but fpc and lazarus do not appear to be compatible.

This is not a problem relating to permissions or gtk.  As it happens I
have 2 fedora 12 boxes to play with and with one the installation
worked fine, the other did not.  On closer examination this turned out
to be because fpc on the one that worked was downlevel.

The machine I wish to install Lazarus on is not, unfortunately, the
one that works.

temecs is correct.

I downloaded and built the lazarus sources and all is working
correctly now.

It is a great pity that the Fedora install was such a sweat when the
Windows product worked 'out of the box'.
