I am making programs where I am using a lot of dynamically created
arrays.
In past I was using delphi and there was possible to check values of
such variables in watches window.
In Lazarus I cannot see proper values of such variables. Is sth wrong
with my Lazarus configuration? Can sb advise how can I check dynamic
variables? (I am using Lazarus for Ubuntu 9.04)

It is a known limitation. There is not yet a native pascal debugger,
and gdb only supports a certain amount of pascal. Also the encoding of
the debug info may not be correct depending on the version of fpc you
use.

There are however ways to archive what you need. See the faq at
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Faq#Debugger
