Greetings! I've got a little bit of a frustrating annoyance I'm hoping someone can help me resolve.
I've got Lazarus built from source and installed under "/usr/share/lazarus/0.9.30" on an Ubuntu 10.10 box. I obviously installed it as root, and rebuilt the IDE and packages as root as well so they would be found correctly under the components. I can run Lazarus just fine as a non-root user. However, when I do the following steps: 1. Create a new lazarus application 2. Drop a TChart onto my form 3. Hit Ctrl+F9 to build I get the following error: tachartutils.pas(1171,1) Error: Can't create object file: /usr/share/lazarus/0.9.30/components/tachart/lib/x86_64-linux/gtk2/tachartutils.o Well, of course it can't create that file: I'm running as a non-root user who doesn't have write privileges under /usr/share. But what's even stranger is why it thinks it needs to create that file, as I can check and see that it already exists and has existed since I installed Lazarus. If I simply hit Ctrl+F9 again, the project builds successfully. But that first time for some reason it thinks it needs to create that file when it cannot and should not. I get the same experience whether I build from the IDE or using lazbuild. This appears to me to be a bug. I'd like your opinions, and if you agree I'll log an issue in Mantis.
