Hi, I just noticed this.
Code: Bash  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i
aruna@debian:~/lazarus3/lazarus$ ./lazarus --primary-config-
path=~/.lazarus_testSetPrimaryConfigPath NewValue="~/.lazarus_test"
expanded to "/home/aruna/.lazarus_test"Hint: (lazarus)
[TMainIDE.ParseCmdLineOptions]
PrimaryConfigPath="/home/aruna/.lazarus_test"Hint: (lazarus)
[TMainIDE.ParseCmdLineOptions]
SecondaryConfigPath="/etc/lazarus"Looking for code tools config file:
 "/home/aruna/.lazarus_test/codetoolsoptions.xml"NOTE: codetools
config file not found - using defaultsNOTE: help options config file
not found - using defaults
So far I have had no issues. I would like to make this go away. Code:
Bash  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i codetools
config file not found - using defaults

I haven't looked at it (so apologies for a "guess" response, and sorry
if I am wrong and it does not work), but just from the wording I would
say:

Menu: Tools > Options > Codetools
Change any settings, close the dialog, restart the IDE. It should save
you settings, and there should be a config.

Similar for the help.

 Thank you it worked. But I do not see a config in my folder. Where
does Lazarus put the config? After fixing the Codetools by folowing
your instructions the help error message went away by itself. I did
not have to do anything.

- On Linux, there should be a  .lazarus folder in your home dir.
- On Windows, there is a lazarus folder in %AppData% (which is inside
the user folder).

You can go to menu: View > IDE Internals > About IDE
It shows a lot of values in a text field. One of the values is called
Code: Text  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i Global IDE
options:Primary config directory=....
And that is where the config is.

You can start lazarus with an alternative config (e.g., for testing)
using 
Code: Text  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i lazarus
--pcp=myconfdir

Perfect, Thank you! I was looking in the wrong folder
