Any particular reason to use the svn version of zeoslib? I'm asking
because I'm completely ignorant about the development of zeos, so I just
took the latest released beta (6.6.1) and it installed fine, both under
windows and under linux. I know that any software has bugs, but are
there particularly nasty bugs in 6.6.1 that forced you to use the svn
version?

Hi Luca,

No reason other than Sod's Law! ;)

and that having followed links via the Lazarus Wiki, all I can find are links and instructions for the svn sources, so probably that too.

I will check out what you suggest Luca, reluctantly. I'm past the point of wanting to spend more time trying to make something work when I don't know enough about what I'm doing, but just in case this time....

Where exactly did you download the latest beta from?

at the ZeosLib forum I can only see a link for beta 6.6.0. So perhaps there is another reason, that I couldn't find what you say anyway. Its a while back now so don't remember, just going by what I can find or not, today.

but if you can provide a link it will be appreciated and I'll try it.

I found the link here:
http://zeos.firmos.at/viewtopic.php?t=1097

*BUT* I saw that there was a nasty memory leak as reported in the forums, so, to see if it was fixed, I downloaded the latest trunk snapshot (rev 263) from the page linked here:
http://zeos.firmos.at/viewtopic.php?t=970

Since that didn't actually fix the leak, and on another post I saw that is fpc 2.0.4 that's leaking memory with interfaces, I downloaded fpc2.1.4 and rebuilt lazarus with it. I had to change a thing in rev 263 to make it compile with fpc 2.1.4:

in file ZAbstractRODataset.pas, line 3019, change {$IFDEF VER2_1_3} to {$IFDEF VER2_1_4}

and now the memory leak (at least that memory leak) has gone. This is under windows, later I'll try under linux.

Bye
