I will (see question 4). I only asked because i read an old book about Delphi 3 for remembering how database access works. But since a table held by a sql server is a generalization of a query (select * from table) that fine with me. > > 3.

But beware, > this will only work on your machine, so the best place is /etc/fpc.cfg. I tried to recompile the IDE when installing the interbase components. An exception message told me to ad the path where to search for the library. But you're right, fpc.cfg is a more general solution. > > (4.)

This requirement leads to checking out the last version of lazarus compilable and working flawlessly with this version of fpc. If someone could tell me the svn revision for lazarus 0.9.23 this would do (I think).
