[lazarus] Component adds no new tab on lazarus - strange problem

2005-11-16 Thread Armando Jorge Sousa


Hello.

I am new to this mailing list.

I have successfully installed lazarus on my laptop running Mandriva Linux.
After that, I have successfully installed ZeosLib components.
After that, I successfully installed another component I am working on.

After that, I installed lazarus successfully on a Desktop PC.
Only that on the desktop I was unable to install any component:
I could never see an additional tab in the lazarus tools.
The 2 components I tried compile and lazarus rebuilds normally but
after normal restart there is no additional tab.
Although I tried other version stuff, this happened in the
same versions I used on the laptop: fpc2.0.0 and lazarus 0.9.10.

The desktop runs Debian Sarge with a kernel 2.4.27
(not my choice...).

Installation in the desktop was made with RPMs converted into .DEBs,
as explained in the wiki.
I already 777 all permissions in the /etc/fpc.cfg, .lazarus directory,
lazarus and fpc directories, removed and re-installed and still no change.

I find this to be a lazarus problem because neither the Zeos nor
my own package adds the registered tab...

My guess is that this is a permissions problem (?). Maybe lazarus tries 
to write
something somewhere fails and returns no error message, not even in the 
console.


Any hints ? Any hint on how to debug such a problem ?

Thanks for all the help

How did you start lazarus? With 'lazarus' or with 'startlazarus'.

Try to start it with 'startlazarus'.

Probably you are running the wrong lazarus-binary. Try if you can find
multiple binaries, and try them all.

2005-11-16 Thread barko
/home/yourname/.lazarus/bin

look in this directory...

copy startlazarus into this directory and run from it.. it works everytime 
when you install new components...
