I installed Geckoport and attempted to use the sample applications.

the sample using Chrome gave the following debugger message
Project GBrowser.exe raised exception Class 'EGeckoError with message:
Cannot get the Service Manager

I assume I have missed something in the install procedure.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Here is a real nice tutorial, how to use the geckoport:
http://lazplanet.blogspot.de/2013/10/browser-in-lazarus-with-gecko-
pt1.html?m=1
There are two versions of geckoport, version 1 should work.

Afaik nobody is working on geckoport anymore. I use fpCEF for one of
my projects but its not so simple to install.

TY for your reply.  I have seen that tutorial, but unfortunately it
doesnt  help/solve my problem.

I dont necessarily need Gecko, but anything that handles most stuff
thats on modern browsers.

I have successfully used the activeX component to run IE on a lazarus
Form, but unfortunately it didnt display the streaming video(flash?)
that was on a site I visited.  Maybe I need to enable Flash in
ActiveX, but I have no idea how to do that.  I also must admit I would
much prefer to use Chrome than IE, or SeaMonkey (which I understand
uses some Gecko code.

I'll have a look for fpCEF and try that.

Thanks again

Hello Cliff. What you are doing should not be done. Any gecko project
can't be run directly(through F9). You will have to build it(Shift +
F9) and then run the built application (.exe on windows or
x-executable on linux).
It is not your problem. I think every gecko app shows this so you will
have to build it not run it.
