lazarus / 1-Linux

I have removed Lazarus 9.30.? and FPC. I did this because I kept
getting this error:

Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: fpc (>=2.6.0)|fp-compiler
(>=2.6.0)

And now I still get this error. I don't get it. Why is it always so
difficult to do an install on Linux? I run Linux Mint 13 (Mate).  I
installed Mint 13 when it came out. Then I installed Lazarus 9.30.?
and it was smooth as silk. But now that I want to install the newer
Lazarus 1.0, I can't because there's something standing it the way and
giving me this fpc version error. I removed FPC and Lazarus via the
Software Manager. I thought this wld be good enough. But apparently
not. Any help in getting past this error would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

How did you install FPC?
Try running it on cmd line. What is the version number?

I'm running Linux Mint 13 (Mate) too. I've got no problem with fpc, in
fact I was able to install fpc 2.6.0, but I cannot install lazarus 1.0
because the system says lib-gtk-2.0.dev is needed.

If I try to install lib-gtk-2.0, the system complains that it's
impossible, since it would break a gazillion of dependencies.

I think the reason is Mate. Any idea on how to install Laz 1.0???

I got broken packages after installing Lazarus 1 in Mint DE 64 bit
after downloading the three .deb packages.: Lazarus1...deb, fpc..deb
and fpc-src...deb

Then I removed Lazarus and FPC and I've installed FPC 2.6.0 from Mint
repositories, and then I have removed fpc-src package because it gives
a dependancy error. Instead there is fpc-source package.

Then I installed Lazarus 1 from downloaded .deb file (not from
Repository)
While that I downloaded the missing lib-gtk.. I don't remember the
exact package name.
After that every thing does fine.
