Just build from source, I never use package manager anymore for
lazarus and fpc, my build must be better

thanks Leledumbo , i built it from source and every things work good .
just one annoying thing : there is a lag with ttrackbar and tedit .
changing the trackbar position by mouse is really slow compared with
an example i've created with wxwidgets . and the selection in tedit is
also slow .

toolkit is indeed slow. Try Qt (what I use) instead.

yes qt seems much better , but whats wrong with gtk2 ? since lcl is
just wrapping the api why it is slow ?

be used as general purpose GUI library. As its name suggests (Gimp
ToolKit), it was originally written for GIMP, which doesn't require
fast GUI processing (at least when it was initially written).
