I can only say that in lazarus my "fppkg configuration file" setting is empty, if I invoke "fppkg list" from the command line it works both under windows and linux, though under linux it shows that the installed rtl is 3.2.0 (even if I'm using fpc 3.2.2).

The result is *exactly the same* as what I have described above: when I first start Lazarus 3.2.2 the customize dialog pops up where I have to configure various parts of the system: Lazarus: /home/pi/dev/lazarus/2.2.4/ Fpc: /home/pi/lib/fpc/3.2.2/ppcarm Fpc sources: /home/pi/dev/fpc/3.2.2 Make: /usr/bin/make Debugger: /usr/bin/gdb Fppkg: /home/pi/.config/fppkg.cfg (from the dropdown selector) The bottom pane shows this message: File: /home/pi/.config/fppkg.cfg Error: there is a problem with the Fppkg configuration. (Fppkg reports that the RTL is not installed.) You could try to restore the configuration files automatically, or adapt the configuration file manually. At this point I can start the IDE and it looks pretty much normal. Close Lazarus and open it again and I am back at the Config dialog with a stated error about the Fppkg item. My procedure for installing is this: 1. Build freepascal: Install various dependencies first: sudo apt install -y libx11-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libcairo2-dev gir1.2-coglpango-1.0 libpangox-1.0-dev xorg-dev libgtk2.0-dev libpango1.0-dev sudo apt install -y freetds-dev gdb copy ppcarm version 3.2.0 from another RPi to $HOME/dev/fpc Then: cd $HOME/dev/fpc wget https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/archive/release_3_2_2/source-release_3_2_2.tar.gz tar -xvf source-release_3_2_2.tar.gz mv source-release_3_2_2 3.2.2 cd 3.2.2 make clean FPC="$HOME/dev/fpc/ppcarm" make all FPC="$HOME/dev/fpc/ppcarm" make install PREFIX="$HOME" FPC="$HOME/dev/fpc/3.2.2/compiler/ppcarm" rm "$HOME/bin/ppcarm" ln -sf "$HOME/lib/fpc/3.2.2/ppcarm" "$HOME/bin/ppcarm" make sourceinstall PREFIX="$HOME" FPC="$HOME/bin/ppcarm" $HOME/lib/fpc/3.2.2/samplecfg $HOME/lib/fpc/3.2.2 $HOME mv "$HOME/fpc.cfg" "$HOME/.fpc.cfg" 2. Build Lazarus cd $HOME/dev/lazarus wget https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/archive/lazarus_2_2_4/lazarus-lazarus_2_2_4.tar.gz tar xvf lazarus-lazarus_2_2_4.tar.gz mv lazarus-lazarus_2_2_4 2.2.4 cd 2.2.4 make clean time make bigide strip -s lazarus mkdir -p $HOME/.lazarus_2.2.4 3. Create desktop file to launch Lazarus: - nano $HOME/.local/share/applications/lazarus_2.2.4.desktop Add this to the file: [Desktop Entry] Comment=Lazarus IDE 2.2.4 Terminal=false Name=Lazarus 2.2.4 Exec=/home/pi/dev/lazarus/2.2.4/startlazarus --pcp=/home/pi/.lazarus_2.2.4 %f Type=Application Icon=/home/pi/dev/lazarus/2.2.4/images/ide_icon48x48.png Categories=Application;IDE;Development;GTK;GUIDesigner;Programming; NoDisplay=false Keywords=editor;Pascal;IDE;FreePascal;fpc;Design;Designer; At this point the start menu "Programming" submenu contains the "Lazarus 2.2.4" item and Lazarus can be launched.

As I said I have used many Linux and Windows systems all with multiple installs of different versions of Lazarus and FPC and it has all worked well regarding launching the IDE. Never anything like this happened before. And the problem is not even on a single new install but on every install I do both using the Wiondows installer and building from sources. >The IDE will work fine without it. >It' only needed if you need some of the few packages that are only avail >via fppkg (though you can download them by hand anyway) I have never been aware of this before and it has just worked. I am not doing any fancy installs just first the basic installation and then use OLPM to install all of the extra packages I need (same list every time). Finally putting my own developed packages and utilities on each system as well. I have never even been aware of the fppkg program or its use. And with a new release I usually just make a parallel installation using pcp functionality. >>> Try to delete the old config by hand. >>> Then -outside the IDE - use the latest (3.2.2) fppkg to create a new >>> config.

(fppkg is part of fpc) On Linux it is found here: /home/bosse/bin/fppkg Notice that this is a global location for my user. And on my Windows install here: C:\Programs\Lazarus_2.2.4\fpc\3.2.2\bin\x86_64-win64\fppkg.exe This is a Lazarus unique location for ver 2.2.4 and on Windows it is not on path... Still both installations behave the same. > >If you just run it >fppkg >it should create a config file (if none exists). Yes it creates a new cnf file identical to the old renamed file. But still my new Lazarus won't start cleanly, whereas 2.0.12 starts just fine on Winddows as well as on Linux.

And it does the same on both Linux and Windows!!! So it is definitely about the Lazarus version 2.2.4! I might try and put it on a Raspberry Pi4 just to check this... One that I have access to has 7 different Lazarus versions with the latest being 2.0.12 and FPC versions are 3.0.4 and 3.2.0 and it uses the pcp dir functionality to allow the multiple installs of different Lazarus versions.

Version 2.2.4 seems to be quite old now. But I don't get it, every time I start up Lazarus in Ubuntu it pops up the dialog and no matter what I do inside it it is not accepted. If I start the IDE anyway from the dialog without doing anything it looks like Lazarus is working and I can build apps earlier built with 2.0.12. But shutting down Lazarus and then starting it, again shows the dialog. :-( And it seems to be looking for $HOME/.config/fppkg.cfg even though I am using separate install dirs for Lazarus 2.0.12 and 2.2.4 and the launch file lazarus_2.2.4.desktop contains --pcp=/home/bosse/.lazarus_2.2.4 So I would expect the location of the fppkg.cnf file to be inside that pcp dir, but it is not. Apart from that location (provided the fpc version is in play) there could be another location below $HOME/lib/fpc/3.2.2 that could be used, but the dialog does not accept that either. This is where make install for fpc copied a lot of files. >Try to delete the old config by hand. >Then -outside the IDE - use the latest (3.2.2) fppkg to create a new >config.

[Lazarus] Fppkg reports RTL not installed - Lazarus 2.2.4/fpc 3.2.2 from sources on Ubuntu
The below is from an Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS with Mate Desktop on an HP workstation laptop. I have retrieved the tagged release sources for fpc 3.2.2 and Lazarus 2.2.4 from gitlab and built the compiler and IDE on the command line. When I start the Lazarus IDE I get to the dialog "Welcome to Lazarus IDE 2.2.4" where all is well and dandy *EXCEPT* the last tab Fppkg... What it says is this: --- File: /home/bosse/.config/fppkg.cfg Error: there is a problem with the Fppkg configuration. (Fppkg reports that the RTL is not installed.) You could try to restore the configuration files automatically, or adapt the configuration file manually. In the root of $HOME I have files fppkg.cfg, fppkg.bak, .fpc.cfg and directory fppkg/ This machine also has an older version of Lazarus (2.0.12) with fpc 3.2.0, which runs just fine without this noise about fppkg. The same thing regarding fppkg happens on Windows 10 with Lazarus 2.2.4 installed using the official installer downloaded from Sourceforge. What does this mean? I have never seen this before in my many years of Lazarus usage...
