[SOLVED] Lazarus does not work at all on Ubuntu 11.10
« on: February 20, 2012, 11:48:05 pm »
Lazarus from the ubuntu 11.10 repository doesn't work. I have exactly the same problem as ryan26 in this post from October.
http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,15005.0.html.
I have already tried the solution suggested in the last but one post - but it makes no difference.

It is a total show-stopper.
Is this a bug?

Use Lazarus and Free Pascal and stand on the shoulders of giants . . . very generous giants. Thank you.

This may be a solution

Reconfigure Lazarus as sudo
Open a terminal and start Lazarus as sudo with

gksudo StartLazarus

Give your sudo password
In Lazarus choose the menu option
Environment/Rescan FPC source directory
Then , still as sudo - In Lazarus choose the menu option
Tools/BuildLazarus with profile:Build all

After it, the problem above disappears and I can at least create a ButtonClick event handler.

Until the next problem ....
Use Lazarus and Free Pascal and stand on the shoulders of giants . . . very generous giants. Thank you.

Thanks
You actually suggested this previously when I was on Ubuntu 10.04
http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,14672.msg77961.html#msg77961

I have created a wiki article on my adventures

Cracking read.

Wiki article is a cracking read indeed - in that it might save a lot of others a lot of bother....

And seems earlier me was also very kind in posting that solution... forgot all about it ;)

Everything works just fine in 12.04 and you don't need to uninstall anything. The version is 0.9.30.2-2 and fpc 2.4.4, build date is 15 Feb 2012.
You install it from Software Center and all you need to do from terminal is "sudo apt-get install fpc-source fpc-source-2.4.4".
