Hello Everyone!
I am having trouble opening a saved project on Mac OSX Lion running
Lazarus 1.0 and FPC 2.6.0. I am able to build/compile projects with no
problems, as well as save projects files without any problems.
Unfortunately, when I try to open a saved project or any file for that
matter. I get an error stating Lazarus is unable to find the file
(this happens with .lpk, .pas, etc). Any help regarding this issue
would be greatly appreciated. Happy programming!

Try openning only .lpi (or .lpr) files (via Project/Open Project).
Does that work?
pas files are part of a project, not the project itself.

.lpk are package files; you don't open these directly via file/open
but via Package/open package file.

Thank you for your response. I tried to open the project using the
instructions you list above. Unfortunately Lazarus is still unable to
open the project. I get the same message box saying: Unable to read
file "/Users/mycomputer/Desktop/lazarus projects/lazarus
template/project1.lpi".

Could you try saving in path without spaces?

Whew! Problem solved. It appears that Lazarus didn't like my previous
folder path configuration (Desktop > Folder > SubFolder > SubFolder >
Files). I eliminated the number of subfolders in the path (now it's
only Desktop > Folder > Files) and now everything is working great. I
am now able to open my saved projects!  Thank you for the responses.

I got similar problem under Windows 7 64bit Home Premium, Lazarus
1.0.2 32bit. I can open it if project is located under "C:\" which is
system folder, but i cannot open project, if it is located in the
desktop.

I wonder if OP reported this as a bug, or should i?
