Hi, folks. I experienced a strange error at installing the latest stable version (0.9.28) in my iBook G4 and mac mini (with PowerPC G4) at first time. Lazarus always c rushes at start-up in these old macs. Similar error was posted over one year a go at the bug tracker: http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=13123
In my case, the crush is caused by mis-declaration in the complier filename se ction of ~./lazarus/environmentoptions.xml To workaround the problem, simply correct a line: <CompilerFilename Value="/usr/local/bin/ppc386"> into <CompilerFilename Value="/usr/local/bin/fpc"> or <CompilerFilename Value="/usr/local/bin/ppcppc"> Then, Lazarus starts correctly. Lazarus is fairly fast and good choice of RADs especially for these slow machi nes. So, I will add this workaround into Lazarus-ccr : OS_X_Programming_Tips, ok?
