I downloaded the svn version of lazarus as I have upgraded to Linux
Mint9 and my previous version was giving an error when I tried to
access the package section of the menu consistently, any way I am
getting the following error now with the svn version downloaded this
morning:
srceditorintf.pas(180,40) Fatal: Syntax error, ";" expected but "const
string" found

I suspect it has to do with the const declaration but not sure, can
anyone help.

Regards
Dave

Which Version of FPC do you use?

Code: [Select]    function SourceEditorIntfWithFilename(const
Filename: string): TSourceEditorInterface;
             deprecated {$IFDEF VER2_5}'use
SourceEditorManagerIntf'{$ENDIF};   // deprecated in 0.9.29 March 2010

the "deprecated 'some text'" only works in 2.5 (trunk). But the IFDEF
would prevent it from being compiled.

Unless your fpc version is an older trunk, which would be 2.5 but not
have the feature?

IT
I got it from
lazarus (free pascal delphi like ide) on ubuntu (amd64) | HowtoForge -
Linux Howtos and Tutorials
I downloaded it and installed it from the link
but then what?
its still saying not installed.....

Is your question related to the original thread? That is do you get
the same compilation error ";" expected .... ?

If not, better post a new entry, with anh new *meaningful* subject.
That way more people will see it, and you have better chances of a
reply. (I'll be away after this post, so I can not answer further
question)

--------
As for, your question:
"its still saying not installed....."

What is saying this?
- Is Lazarus saying something is not installed?
- Is your OS/Linux saying something is not installed?
- Does it say/name what is not installed? Is it "fpc is not installed?

Post what you do, and the exact error msgs, please.


If lazarus complains on startup, that fpc is not installed, then go
to:
  Menu, Environment, Options
and fill in the path to fpc, to make, and to fpc sources.

I don't know where they are by default on ubuntu,
Did you install fpc + fpc_sources ?
