Hi Handoko and thank you for your reply to my problem.

I read and followed the install procedure you provided as this:

Installed flawlessly fpc_3.0.4-2_amd64.debInstalled flawlessly fpc-
src_3.0.4-2_amd64.debInstalled with an error lazarus-
project_1.8.0-1_amd64.deb
ERROR: The dependancy cannot be satisfied : fpc(=3.0.4)| fp-compiler (
3.0.4).

Any other ideas ??

Have you tried third party tools like GDebi or Synaptic Package
Manager to perform the installation? They can help you solve the
dependency issue.

I used Synaptic Package Manager. Sometimes it cannot automatically
solves dependency issues but at least it will tell me which library
causing the conflict. Simply uninstall the library, reboot the
computer and re-perform the installation usually can solve the
problem.

Yes on both to add and remove plus in the CLI with apt autoremove and
apt-purge

I initially had problems with installing on Mint and solved them with
an fpcupdeluxe installation:

http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,34645.0.html

But now I use the deb files. I click on them and let them do the
installs - rather than have Synaptic Package Manager import the debs
and do the installs. Good luck - but if you want to play right away
consider the fpcupdeluxe option.

I downloaded the fpcupdeluxe and the fpcup but what it does on my end
is extract files and generte the .par2 but no menu entry to lauch it
afterward. What do I do next then ?? I even installed the cinnamon
destop environment to see if it woulr help.

This is the screen I got now...no LCL in the IDE and a large coolbar
