Probably the compiler found the unit, but it did not like it. This can be caused by adding too many search paths, using the wrong version of a package, left overs from prior installs, compiler bugs, etc. Please give more details.

There is no need to install into home directory unless you need the trunk development version. For your own programs the default Mint package installation should work. When you install an IDE package to Lazarus and recompile it, the new binary goes to the home directory and startlazarus is clever enough to start it from there. There were bugs in this process but to my understanding they are fixed. If it still does not work then please explain the steps to reproduce. Another problem with Mint installation is that they use very old versions in their repo. You can download the .deb packages provided by Lazarus project instead, or use the trunk.

Re: [Lazarus] Search path options for pacages
On my LinuxMint I have Lazarus installed (built from source) in my home folder and I can add search paths to any of the packages regardless the origin of the package (came with Lazarus or created/added by myself). I think that you installed FPC and Lazarus via the package manager of your system. In this case the directory of Lazarus binaries, libraries and sources are not writeable for you (including the package configurations). In the pas a solved this with changing (recursive) the group id (to mine) for the directories belonging to FPC and Lazarus and giving write premissions. You can add write premissions to "other" but it has security risk. BUT I recommend to install lazarus into your home directory by building it from sources. 2015-08-04 16:44 keltezéssel, Larry Dalton írta: > How do I add a search path for packages in linux mint?

Hi, Today I update Lazarus and FPC to last Trunk version and when I want to install a package and recompile IDE it gave me "No memory left". As hint said I should use -ch param and beside that I dont know how to that and what value I should gave it (because I don't know what is the default value) also I dont know why this happen?My PC didnt changed and its weird.

[Lazarus] Editor toolbar changes ?
Hi, I have 2 lazarus installations: A new one (one that was compiler more recently: today). Another one is a little older (rev 49180). I have in the older installation in the editor toolbar a dropdown button with the items 'Jump to' menu. It works as expected. But: If I click the 'configure' button, the 'jump to' is not displayed in the list of enabled buttons. In the newer installation, when I add the 'Jump to' button, a button is added to the editor toolbar, but it is not functional: the dropdown menu is not shown, and clicking it does not do anything (not surprising). What does this mean ? Did anything change in the toolbar editor ? Should I be afraid to update my SVN in the older installation ? Michael. -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
