CentOS7, wrong at Online Package Manager
lazarus / 32-Linux

Hi all,

I installed the newest version lazarus on CentOS7. It seems working at
first. I can create project, run and debug it. But when I go to
install packages with Online Package Manager, I got a blank window.
First, there was a dialog with title of my empty project1 but without
any messages. After I closed the dialog, it seems the OPM got the JSON
data because sometime when I moved my mouse on the form I could see
the HINT. But nothing was showing on the form and the dialog kept pop
up so that I could not choose and install the package.

When I installed it, I did the following:
1. install fpc
2. install fpc-src
3. yum install gtk2 gtk2-devel
4. make clean bigide
and now I have fpc3.2.2 [2021/05/16] for x86_64,
gtk2-2.24.31-1.el7.x86_64 and gtk2-devel-2.24.31-1.el7.x86_64 in my
system. How can I solve this problem?

Hi senglit,

Unfortunately I have no idea what's happening, it looks like a
VirtualStringTree bug.
I will install CentOS7 to a virtual machine and see if I can fix the
issue.

I just send the link of this topic in ThirdParty OPM thread and then I
see your reply here.
Thanks for your quick notice!

@senglit

After two hours of excruciating install, I found out that OPM works
fine(see attached image). Sorry, but I don't know how to help with
this issue.

PS: On the positive side CentOS it's cool distro. I like it!

Thanks for your efforts. I guess there must be something wrong with my
gtk lib. Maybe it's changed by some of my other apps. I will dig and
see what happened with my system.
