I have only ever used CentOS myself as I am a linux uber noob. It has an installation menu where you can choose specific groups of applications, etc to install and a couple of these have developer oriented package groups listed. Selecting these to be installed, I haven't had a problems with supporting files and libraries for development. Does Fedora have something like this? P.S. I do have some troubles getting gtk2 files to be correctly installed and gave up for a bit since I didn't really *need* them, but other than that, pretty easy to install then download lazarus rpm and install that too. -- Warm Regards, Lee "Everything I needed to learn in life, I learned selling encyclopedias door to door." _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
