Hello!

I am operating on Fedora 16 system. I installed with
Code: [Select]yum install lazarus
Lazarus for programming in Delphi. The problem is the follow:
When I start Lazarus, first is displaying message:
Code: [Select]Unable to open the package "InstantFPCLaz".
This package was marked for installation.
After clicking on the button OK, Lazarus is openning, but if I want to
compile a source in Delphi I have to save it in
/usr/lib/Lazarus/examples/Unit2.pas.
Unable to write to file "/usr/lib/lazarus/examples/testall.pp".
What I must to do for solving of the problem?
Version of Lazarus: IDE v.0.9.30 from 27.04.2011

The permissions of that directory doesn't seem to match your account. 
Best is to copy the example dir to your home and only then operate on
it.

After save in home directory of example123.pas, it says this:
Code: [Select]Unable to write to file
"/usr/lib/lazarus/examples/testall.pp".
After run of command:
Code: [Select]# chmod 777 /usr/lib/lazarus/examples
and choose of Retry, Lazarus is not working more.

I tested Lazarus on Fedora 20, but there are serious problems with the
Firebird database ...
Generally, Lazarus works well!

p.s. Fedora 20 32 bit, Lazarus 1.2 32 bit
