I'm trying to install Lazarus on MacOSX for several days with no luck
so I decide to start over again. After cleaning any existing files for
previous installations and testings, I followed these steps:
1. I Installed files:
- fpc-2.1.1-20060511-powerpc-macosx.dmg
- fpcsrc-2.1.1-20060511-powerpc-macosx.dmg
- lazarus-0.9.15-20060511-powerpc-macosx.dmg
As a result I had fpc and lazarus installed but could not open lazarus
due to ppcppc fpc compiler could not be found. After this message,
lazarus wouldn't start. I'm not sure if this was the reason.
2. I SVNed both fpc and Lazarus.
3. Run "make clean all" for fpc. Compilation completed successfully.
4. Run "make install" for fpc. Installation completed successfully.
5. Run "make clean all" for lazarus. Compilation completed successfully.
6. Run "make install" for lazarus. Installation completed successfully.
Although .dmg installed lazarus on /usr/local/share, "make install"
installed lazarus on /usr/share. Why is that?
Now, what happen when trying to open lazarus as a root user in various
ways:
- While opening Lazarus from it's .dmg installed folder, it hangs on
splash screen.
- While opening startLazarus from it's .dmg installed folder, it
displays splash screen, splash screen disappear normally but Lazarus
never show up.
- While opening Lazarus from compiled folder /usr/share, it hangs on
splash screen.
- While opening startLazarus from compiled folder /usr/share, it
displays splash screen, splash screen disappear normally but Lazarus
never show up.
Unfortunately I'm out of ideas. If anyone could help, it would be nice.
Apple iBook G4, 512 MB Ram

If you start lazarus in a xterm, what messages do you see?
