Hello Lazarus community, This is my first post to this mailing-list. Let me first introduce myself: my name is Norbert Crettol, from Switzerland.
I'm a former Turbo Pascal user. My first version was Turbo Pascal v.1.0 for CP/M (on Z80 processor). ;-) I've not been doing any Pascal development for many years now. I've no experience with Lazarus. Now, my problem: On a fresh Debian Jessie installation, I've installed Lazarus and fpc (see the list of installed packages below). Now, I'm trying to install a new package: lazdatadict. I went to Package->Install/Uninstall Packages and moved lazdatadict from "Available..." to "Installed" and clicked on "Save and rebuild IDE". It compiles for a while and then displays an error message: ----------------------------------------------------- Unable to find file "staticpackages.inc". If it belongs to your project, check search path in Project -> Compiler Options -> Search Paths -> Other Unit Files. If this file belongs to a package, check the appropriate package compiler options. If this file belongs to Lazarus, make sure compiling clean. If the file belongs to FPC then check fpc.cfg. If unsure, check Project -> CompilerOptions -> Test ----------------------------------------------------- I've checked the newly created ~/.lazarus folder and a file called "staticpackages.inc" exists there. I've tried to add /path/to/my/home/.lazarus in "Other Unit Files" as suggested by the error message but this leads to other errors. I'm lost. Is that an purely Debian error? I've googled a little but found nothing satisfying. Here are some data from Lazarus: ================================ Lazarus version: 1.2.4+dfsg2-1 Lazarus svn revision: 43696 Lazarus build date: 2015/02/17 Lazarus was compiled for x86_64-linux Lazarus was compiled with fpc 2.6.4 Here is a list of installed packages: ===================================== ~$ dpkg -l | grep lazarus ii lazarus ii lazarus-1.2.4 ii lazarus-doc-1.2.4 ii lazarus-ide-1.2.4 ii lazarus-ide-gtk2-1.2.4 ii lazarus-ide-qt4 ii lazarus-ide-qt4-1.2.4 ii lazarus-src-1.2.4 ~$ dpkg -l | grep fpc ii fpc ii fpc-2.6.4 ii fpc-source ii fpc-source-2.6.4 ~$ dpkg -l | grep fp- ii fp-compiler ii fp-compiler-2.6.4 ii fp-ide-2.6.4 ii fp-units-base ii fp-units-base-2.6.4 ii fp-units-db ii fp-units-db-2.6.4 ii fp-units-fcl ii fp-units-fcl-2.6.4 ii fp-units-fv-2.6.4 ii fp-units-gfx ii fp-units-gfx-2.6.4 ii fp-units-gnome1-2.6.4 ii fp-units-gtk-2.6.4 ii fp-units-gtk2 ii fp-units-gtk2-2.6.4 ii fp-units-math ii fp-units-math-2.6.4 ii fp-units-misc ii fp-units-misc-2.6.4 ii fp-units-multimedia-2.6.4 ii fp-units-net-2.6.4 ii fp-units-rtl-2.6.4 ii fp-utils ii fp-utils-2.6.4 Can someone help?
