Hi Robert, As I can see you have installed lazarus-ide package which installs only the IDE not the LCL. This configuration is not the right for Lazarus normal users and is only intended for advanced users with particular needs.
I assume your issue will disappear if you install the lazarus package # aptitude install lazarus This will install everything you need to build any Lazarus based application. Please confirm this fixes you issue so I can close this report.
