Help !! Compiling Linux

[Edwin Quijada]

Hi!
I am trying to do a simple app using Lazarus in Linux Suse 9.3. My app is a form with a botton that says "Hello World...." and this seems an imposible thing.
I have the last snapshot with rpm and installed this but when compile my app I get this errors:

I don't know if it's your case, but however remember that actually is not trivial to build a Lazarus based developement environment under Linux, i.e. the Win32 installer is ways simpler!
I installed Lazarus on Suse 9.2 Linux distribution some months ago, I had to carefully install the right version of some libaries, here are mine libraries, you may need different libraries or differnt versions due to the differences between your Suse 9.3 and my 9.2:
- fpc-1.9.8-0.i586.rpm (Free Pascal Compiler, see the version needed from your version of Lazarus!);
- fpcsrc-1.9.8-050225.i386.rpm (Free Pascal Compiler sources, see what version is required for you version of Lazarus!);
- gdk-pixbuf (found on Suse CD);
- gdk-pixbuf-devel-0.18.0-610.i586.rpm, that requires:
- - gtk-devel that requires:
- - glib-devel
- - xfree-devel that requires:
- - - fontconfig-devel
As you can see, you may have to do a little of work to find what you need on .rpm repositories online, however, in my opinion, it worths since Lazarus performances seem much more better under Linux than on XP SP2 on my machine.
