I downloaded and installed 1.8.4 on a Debian Stretch, amd64 pc and
that worked fine. When I tried to install 2.0.0 on a different pc
still Debian Stretch amd64 that failed with "Could not find libgcc". I
downloaded the .deb files and try:
 dpkg -fpc-laz_3.0.4-1_amd64.deb

gcc is installed, any ideas, ?

Unless you know very well what you're doing (and why), you shouldn't
use dpkg to install complex packages like Lazarus. Instead, use apt-
get, aptitude from the command-line or a GUI program like GDebi,
Synaptics, Muon, etc. which will take care of installing also all the
dependencies.

GDebi.
Hell no apt or synaptic (getting Laz from distro-repo). That hasn't
worked for me, since packages are missing.
get the deb's for fpc, fpc-src and laz here from the wabpage, install
fpc, fpc-src, and last laz
and you're done

Thats basically what I found, Laz in stretch is still 1.6.2, so for
the 1.8.4 I downloaded the .deb files and installed in order but 2.0.0
fails.

derivatives work.
Internet is plenty of videos and tutorials about that.

Then, study apt, sources.list and pinning.

Turns out this was not too difficult to fix.

synaptic package manager does not install g++ properly and so just use
apt-get instead.

I needed one dependency and one other missing package but now have a
what appears to be a working platform.

I will give a test overthe next few days.
