I have got a gtk2 Lazarus on Ubuntu 10.04 installed and want to create
a qt version of my application. The compiler creates an error message
where I get requested to install lqt4pas.

In a forum entry, I got told that this should work:
sudo apt-get install libqt4pas-dev
but this does not work:

(tried to translate error message from german to english)
Package libqt4pas-dev not available, but gets referenced by another
package. That means, the package is missing or has expired or can be
installed from another source.
E: Package libqt4pas-dev has no Installation candidate

Any idea?

I confirm that package exists by that name in Ubuntu Oneiric; however,
in Ubuntu it's in the Universe repository, which might not be used by
your system since it's not active by default. Look in Software
Sources, and if Universe is not checked, and if not, check it and try
again.

If that doesn't help and you have an older Ubuntu version, then
perhaps the package is called differently. In that case try searching
for a simila package using apt-cache (man apt cache ) or synaptic.

I have got Ubuntu 10.04 which has Synaptic included. In Synaptic, I
have checked the "universe" checkbox, but no libqt* packages are
shown. Any idea?

You're right, that package does not exist in Lucid, unfortunately I
don't know which package provides the Qt Pascal binding and if any
such exists...
