Although I have all the required packages installed, I cannot compile
and install laz_fpspreadsheet_visual. I get 'Identifier not found:
TCustomChartSource' in fpspreadsheetchart.pas.

Any ideas?

Not sure, but what do you run: ? (os/laz.ver/fpc.ver? )

I installed the packgage last nite, and it installed perfectly...

Win 7 enterprise, laz 0.9.30, FPC 2.4.2

I installed fpspreadsheet with no problem, but can't compile
fpspreadsheet visual. I had it installed on same machine when I was
running laz 0.9.28 but can't compile or install since upgrading.

My fpSpreadsheet_visual package is dated 5/1/10. Is that the one you
installed jm?

Hi

Not sure, I did a SVN export.
From here: https://lazarus-ccr.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lazarus-
ccr/components/fpspreadsheet/

Not knowing what you try to do, I'm a little blind, but anyway, you
could try this:
Read the bottom of this page:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Office_Automation

Then download the SpreadSheetInterFace V 0.11, and try the example
below the link.
(Possible you need FPC 2.5.1, but that I cannot test before I get
home)

If you like, I can send you a complete test program. (the one I used
to get it working)

regards
JM

I'll try the svn export and see if it is the same package. I need
fpspreadsheet to install because I'm trying to work on an app that I
wrote when I had the package working. The app is dependent on it.

Thanks for your help so far JM.

I recommend you to install TAChartLazarusPkg -- TCustomChartSource is
from there.
laz_fpspreadsheet_visual should list it as a dependency, but
apparently it does not.

Ask,

Thanks for your reply. TAChartLazarusPkg 1.0 is already installed.

What's strange is I can navigate to fpspreadsheetchart.pas (where
TCustomChartSource is defined) using ctrl+enter in the uses clause,
but the compiler can't seem to find it.

Are you using the chart component? If not, I suppose that you can just
remove this unit from the package and try again.

Strange, I just checked here and everything works fine for me in Mac
OS X.

It does list it as a dependency.
