Actually my problem was with units. All my compiles failed on unit dependancies. I tried to recompile the units it was looking for, and theb copied the .ppu and .o files to /usr/lib/fpc/1.0.7/units/linux, but it still could not find them. copying them into the source directory likewize failed.
I can only imagine that either the fpc or the lazarus rpms created a congiguration filed that caused these typical locations to be ignored by the unit search routine. I suspected thus, that the compatibility was broken between standard FPC and lazarus at the configuration level, which means it should be fixable. While then on the topic, when I start lazarus it tells me that some functionality will be unavailable because it could not find the fpc source directory. What does this mean ? That I need to install the FPC sources in order to use lazarus ? TIA A.J.
