G'day All Lazarus people, from 'Down Under', I think that I need to install the Lazarus and FPC 'daily snapshots' -- since I've encountered a bug in Lazarus 0.9.24 which Mattias tells me has been fixed in Lazarus 0.9.25 -- and the only way I think I can get 0.9.25 is by using the daily snapshots of it.
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Snapshots_Downloads I need to say that I'm only a newbie at Linux and even more of a newbie at Kubuntu. I downloaded the .rpm files (3 of them) earlier this morning... however, I don't know the exact command to enter at a 'root terminal'. Please refer to the attachment, which is plain text copy of a 'root terminal' session & it shows that I tried to use the 'rpm' command of Kubuntu... but alas, I was fumbling around in the dark 'cos I really didn't know the exact command to do this -- e.g. I'll admit it -- I didn't really know what I was doing! { Hey, until this morning I didn't even know that there was such a thing as a 'rpm' command. } Is it possible to have some kind of 'script' (I think they're called) which would install these files by simply running the script?!? Please tell me the *exact* commands which I would need to enter to install the Lazarus & FPC files.
