I am an absolute beginner with Lazarus under Linux.
I did install UBUNTU 10.04 = great, but every time I try to run
Lazarus it raises a message:
'"/usr/share/fpcsrc/2.4.0/" does not look correct'
How to solve this ?
Thank you !

you need to adjust that manually in
environment|options|environment|files every time you upgrade
lazarus/fpc.

I have the same problem too!
I installed fpc_src fpc_doc etc.. without finding the file
/usr/share/fpc ,so weird
by the way /usr/lib/fpc/ exits on my system . when i adjust
environment|options|source to
/usr/lib/fpc/  it still throw out a error seems the source file
position not correct but this time lazarus can compile the empty form
.
Then i tried to add a event to the unit (just double click the form )
a error appeared saying
the "TDefaultComponent" not found .  so boring!

After you have the FPC sources installed the correct directory is:

/usr/share/fpcsrc/$(FPCVER)/

Thank you.

Okay, guys, it's actually seamless on Ubuntu. Just restart from the
beginning:

- fire up Synaptic and uninstall everything that is called lazarus*,
fp-*, and fpc* (your personal project files will not be changed)
- install the Lazarus metapackage; this should download everything
that is needed (multiple packages) from the repositories; you should
now have lazarus 0.9.26 and fpc 2.2.0 installed
- add the Ubuntu repositories in Synaptic as per http://wiki.lazarus.f
reepascal.org/Getting_Lazarus#Getting_Lazarus_from_our_Ubuntu_reposito
ry, click Reload in Synaptic then mark/accept all upgrades and click
Apply; you should now have lazarus 0.9.28 and fpc 2.2.4 installed (you
might have already gotten those versions in the previous step but it's
a good idea to have the Ubuntu repositories added anyway)
- optionally download a daily shapshot from
http://www.hu.freepascal.org/lazarus/ ; you will need two package
sets: fpc debs and Lazarus debs, they are both tar archives that
contain multiple deb packages. Untar them in the same directory and
open a terminal window in that directory then issue dpkg -i *.deb and
wait for the upgrade to complete; you should now have lazarus 0.9.29
and fpc 2.4.0 installed
- launch lazarus from the menu; you will probably get the famous error
message regarding the wrong fpc source directory; just edit the
environment options as per the version of the fpc source that you now
have! (if you have doubts then have a quick look in /usr/lib/lazarus;
BTW, the fpc directories, including the source, should be under the
lazarus directory)

If you are a beginner with either Lazarus/FPC or Linux then please do
not install from source and choose the official, stable release. If
you did install from source then go back to the directory where you
first launched configure, run `configure' again, and then run `make
uninstall'. Then you can install the .deb packages using Synaptic.

Good luck!

I fixed the problem and my copy of Lazarus works pretty fine now.

Really Appreciate!!

New to Linux/Ubuntu(today) and Lazarus, had the same problem.
It appears that the Ubuntu Software Center does not install the FPC
source files with Lazarus.
The Solution: Search Ubuntu Software Center for FPC and install the
source files.
The path from the Lazarus install should be:
"/usr/share/fpcsrc/$(FPCVER)/"

Hope this helps...
