I've recently switched distros to Mint Debian 12 64-bit XFCE. This
is on an AMD Phenom *4, 4 GB of RAM. When I was reinstalling stuff I
noticed that the latest version of Lazarus that they have in the
repo is 0.9.28, a bit old I know, but it works for what I do.

So I installed 0.9.28, which also brought in FPC 2.4.0-2.

When I try to run Lazarus from the menus, I get the splash screen
and then nothing, the IDE never comes up.

So, I switched to a terminal, ran startlazarus and got the following
output.

[WARNING] Out of OEM specific VK codes, changing to unassigned
[WARNING] Out of unassigned VK codes, assigning $FF
TLazarusManager.Run starting /usr/lib/lazarus/0.9.28.2/lazarus ...

$0000000000720991


OK, maybe it's an old version. I downloaded the latest .DEBs from
SourceForge, and installed those. No change in the symptoms (well,
OK, I can't say the addresses were exactly the same, but the bit
about the VK codes was, and it was still a runtime error 203).

I cleaned out everything to do with Lazarus and FPC that I could
find (using KFind to make sure I got everything) and had one more
try with 0.9.28. As expected, still the same error. I know that
0.9.28 used to run on Mint 9 64-bit, but that was the Ubuntu-based
version, not the Debian-based one.

Anyone have any ideas how to fix this, please?

Starting at a shell prompt, if you load Lazarus in gdb, run it, wait
for the crash and then use GDB's bt command to get a backtrace, do the
first few lines say anything useful?


Probably not, but this is what was produced using V0.9.28

<paste>

run

I use Debian rather than Ubuntu, don't have x64, and generally build both FPC and Lazarus from source.

Put another way, I hope there's somebody active in the the list who's rather more au fait with your actual configuration than I am
