Thank you for the hint. Actually I did reuse and old path, and I didn't take care to erase everything, just to avoid to reconfigure mi custom settings. In the past it did work, but perhaps the jump was too big! Maybe that's the reason of my problem. I'll try that.

Like this: ~ $ ll | grep .laza drwxr-xr-x 4 pi pi 4096 Nov 2 2019 .lazarus_2.0.2 drwxr-xr-x 4 pi pi 4096 Nov 24 00:33 .lazarus_2.0.4 drwxr-xr-x 4 pi pi 4096 Feb 5 18:24 .lazarus_2.0.6 drwxr-xr-x 4 pi pi 4096 May 2 08:11 .lazarus_2.0.8 I made once a "shortcut" when installing a new Lazarus version by copying an earlier config dir into the new name and then starting Lazarus. But Lazarus discovered that it was using an older config and offered to update it, so it seemed to work OK. However, there were still settings lingering that pointed back to the old config dir, for example the packages downloaded via online package manager were there but the config pointed to the previous directory Caused a lot of confusion until I understood how it worked. The reason I did the copy was that I wanted my IDE settings to migrate to the new Lazarus so I don't have to tediously customize the IDE etc... So whatever you do, do *not* copy the entire config dir to a new name and use it with the new Lazarus!!! Instead create a new *empty* dir to use instead and if needed copy the editoroptions.xml file and perhaps some other settings file you use after you have run Lazarus the first time with this pcp target. -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- ___ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus

And I always install fpc/lazarus inside of the home dir instead of using a global installation. So at the moment I have fpc 3.0.4 plus lazarus 2.0.2, 2.0.4, 2.0.6 and 2.0.8 all available from the Mate menu (mate desktop under Ubuntu 18.04 LTS). You can definitely also have lazarus 1.8.x too if you want.

[Lazarus] Help! Lazarus compile fails.
Hi folks, I've been stuck for a long time to lazarus 1.8 in order to maintain installed applications. Now, before starting a new development I tried to upgrade to 2.0.8 but lazarus rebuild to install my custom packages fails. Platform is Linux, OS is CentOs 6. The error reported after the usual warning "did you forget -T" is: /usr/bin/ld: warning: /home/colla/.lazarus/bin/link.res contains output sections; did you forget -T? /usr/bin/ld: BFD version 2.20.51.0.2-5.48.el6_10.1 20100205 internal error, aborting at reloc.c line 443 in bfd_get_reloc_size /usr/bin/ld: Please report this bug. Is it because the ld of my distro is too old and I should upgrade it, or there is some other reason I fail to see?
