error when installing TRichView
lazarus / 1-Linux

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, I use Ubuntu 10.04.

I am trying to install the TRichView component but am having troubles.

I open the lazrichview.lpk file & compile with no problem.
Next, I click install and a "Ambiguous unit found" popup window is
displayed stating:

"The unit sqlitecomponenteditor exists twice in the unit path of the
IDE"
Below that it lists 2 paths to sqlitecomponenteditor.ppu both of which
are in /home/username/.lazarus/lib

[segue]
I have since tried moving one of the offending folders (I did this for
both separately) out of that directory and onto my desktop. However,
Lazarus adds a copy of it right back.
[/segue]

on the "Ambiguous unit found" window I click ignore. It proceeds until
it stops on the last line of Lazarus.pp with the following displayed
in the messages window:

Quote/usr/bin/ld: warning: /home/username/.lazarus/bin/link.res
contains output sections; did you forget -T?
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsqlite
/usr/lib/lazarus/0.9.28.2/ide/lazarus.pp(129,1) Error: Error while
linking
/usr/lib/lazarus/0.9.28.2/ide/lazarus.pp(129,1) Fatal: There were 1
errors compiling module, stopping

I don't know what to do. Can someone please help?

Thanks in advance.

That last bit sounds like you need to install sqllite and/or its
development package.

Thanks for responding. When I first started using Lazarus early last
month i installed the following

Code: [Select]sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

I've been successfully using sqlite ever since.

QuoteI have since tried moving one of the offending folders (I did

However, Lazarus adds a copy of it right back. Open sqlite package,
and check the output directory. .lazarus folder is supposed to keep
configuration files only.
QuoteI've been successfully using sqlite ever sinceNormally if you're
installing a (debian) package containing libraries it would be
installed in /usr/lib, try locate-ing / find-ing sqlite.so.X. Wherever
it is, try running: sudo ldconfig <the lib where you found it>
and reinstall the (lazarus) richview package.
