I have x86-64, Linux Mint + KDE, and it works well. :)
Anyway, Lazarus 0.9.30 is very old. You should not waste your time
with it while there are more recent versions available.
You have Linux so I would recommend Lazarus trunk from SVN server.
Once you have FPC installed, it is very easy to install, and it is
rather stable most of time. Linux users typically don't have problems
running this from console:
$ svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk lazarus

I think I'm going to try following the "Getting_Lazarus" instructions in
the wiki. Before I do though: 1)how thoroughly do I need to purge my
system of my old FPC and Lazarus installations? And 2) do I have to
manually install FPC2.6.0 before I try the Getting_Lazarus directions?
I think I'd delete both FPC and Lazarus, in the knowledge that Debian
probably won't remove more than's necessary (it usually errs on the side
of caution). Install FPC with reference to the "Current Version" section
at http://www.freepascal.org/ Expect this to put most executables in
/usr/local/bin, they'll have an internal reference to
/usr/local/lib/fpc/2.6.0 which is where the rest of the stuff lives, and
there'll be a configuration file at /etc/fpc.cfg
I'd suggest not getting involved with rebuilding the compiler at this
stage. 2.6.0 is stable, and it's the appropriate version for a
reasonable spread of Lazarus revisions. You will probably want the FPC
sources after you've built Lazarus, but let's cross that one when we get
to it.
Get the Lazarus source either from e.g.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Zip%20_%20GZip/
or from svn e.g. svn co
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/tags/lazarus_1_0_4 which I tend to
put in something like /usr/local/share/lazarus-1.0.4
Build Lazarus using e.g. make bigide and if something goes wrong post
the error message here.
I'm not saying that lot's perfect, I'm sure there's something in it to
offend both FPC/Lazarus and Debian purists, but it's what works for me.
