Error while building Lazarus IDE in Ubuntu 64 bit OS
lazarus / 1-Linux

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

Hi,

I downloaded both fpc and lazarus tar files for the 64 bit version of
Ubuntu 10.04 from this site.

I untarred both files and used dpkg -i * for fpc and lazarus files,
this installed lazarus succesfully.

I am able to compile and build projects.

I added some package files (.lpk) and tried to build Lazarus IDE, but
I get this error.

Quote/usr/lib/lazarus/0.9.30/ide/lazarus.pp(130,1) Error: Can't create
object file: ../units/x86_64-linux/lazarus.o

/usr/lib/lazarus/0.9.30/ide/lazarus.pp(130,1) Fatal: Can't create
object ../units/x86_64-linux/lazarus.o

Please help me in solving this problem.

Note: The .lpk file compiles without errors, and the same error occurs
when another .lpk file is used.

-------
Is it possible to install lazarus onto myh 64 bit OS, using the method
given in the link
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_release_version_for_Ubuntu

I find that this method fails.

Please also mention how I can purge my computer of all 0.9.30 files,
so that I can make a clean install.

thanks
nm

I solved this..., the solution was given in another thread in this
forum...http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,13419.0.html

It seems 0.9.30 must started as root before compilation of the ide.

thanks for the tip anyway
