gtk+ and gdk-pixbuf Missing ...

I recently upgraded from openSUSE 11.2 to 11.3, and from that time on,
Lazarus 0.9.28 wouldn't work properly anymore. It reported a access
violation any time i start my project via F9, and did the same when
opening the project settings dialog.

After cleaning up, the packets mentioned in the topic were missing,
and no I can't even install Lazarus, because it misses precisesly
these packets.

I need a helping hand, because I want to run my software on SUSE as
well as on WinXP. (There, I got no problems.)

Then try to Install these packages. I gues you have those on the
instalation CD, or at the SuSE ftp server.

remove lazarus without checking dependencies:
rpm --erase --nodeps lazarus-0.9.28.2
also fpc and fpc-src;  then install the three rpms (fpc-src, fpc,
lazarus)

you will then be told what to add (gtk devel packages)

if you can't reinstall, tell us th output of the
rpm --install --test yourdownloaddir/lazarus-0.9.28.2-0.i586.rpm
command

mirce.vladimirov: I already tried that. That's what I mean with
"missing".

        gdk-pixbuf is needed by lazarus-0.9.28.2-0.i586
        gtk+ is needed by lazarus-0.9.28.2-0.i586

in short, nothing I wouldn't have expected

Install gtk2-devel. IIRC it pulls other dependencies with it.

...although I have a better idea yet. Install FPC 2.4.0 from
"Education" build service repository (select from community repo-
list).
Make sure you have "make" and SubVersion installed, too, then get
Lazarus trunk using SVN and build it.
It is a huge improvement over -0.9.28.2.
Note: the repo also has Qt4Pas which is needed for LCL QT bindings.
Recommended.

$ svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk lazarus
$ cd lazarus
$ make all
$ ./lazarus &

Take a look at this thread:
http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,1979.0.html

Gtk+ on Suse has/had another name.
In the thread you can see how I solved it.

B.t.w. You still need the devel packages if you build Lazarus from
source AFAIK.
Although it (0.9.29 from svn) is the "unstable branch", I prefer it
over the stable releases.

I solved the problem differently by switching to kubuntu 10.10. Now I
have network problems, but Lazarus seems to run smoothly

i don't want to start a distribution argument here but you replaced a
large house with a small wooden shack just so you wouldn't have to fix
the stairs....
