Hello
I have MYSQL installed and running.
I think I need to install something into Lazarus so I can connect etc to 
DataBases.
I have followed source advice but can't connect.

Can anyone help and/or is there a manual?
    
        
Can you tell us what you have tried so far with Lazarus?

Have you followed the guidance at
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Database_Tutorial ?

Yes I have, but it assumes that I can connect.
If I follow the source to connect it does not work
    

Oh, it does not work. I was already wondering what your problem was. But
thanks for the clear explanation. Now we know exactly how to help
you! ;)

OK, Fair point, diplomatically made!  My question should have been:
Is there any changes I need to make to Lazarus, or any
modules or need to install in order to connect to mysql?

I am copying the sample programme on Wiki that sets up
a form to query a database.

The message I get is
Error: invalid compiler: file "/home/kirkpatc/FreePascal/fpc/compiler/ppc386" does not exist

I have a directory /home/ejm/.lazarus but can't see a compiler in it.
I can compile and run programmes without db involvement.
There must be something in my source looking for a compiler in the wrong place :-(

Eric
