[Lazarus] Ubuntu 12.10 install problem

[appjaws]

Hi,
I am running lazarus on amd64bit kubuntu 12.10 with kde 4.9.5 This is 
what I did to get the latest versions.
I downloaded the following rpm versions from the lazarus and freepascal 
sites.
   fpc_2.6.0-2.fc17_amd64.rpm
   fpc-doc_2.6.0-2.fc17_amd64.rpm
   fpc-src_2.6.0-2.fc17_amd64.rpm
   lazarus_1.0.4-0_amd64.rpm

I then converted to deb

  sudo alien -k fpc-2.6.0-2.fc17.x86_64.rpm
  sudo alien -k fpc-doc-2.6.0-2.fc17.x86_64.rpm
  sudo alien -k fpc-src-2.6.0-2.fc17.x86_64.rpm
  sudo alien -k lazarus-1.0.4-0.x86_64.rpm

then installed the deb versions
   sudo dpkg -i fpc_2.6.0-2.fc17_amd64.deb
   sudo dpkg -i fpc-doc_2.6.0-2.fc17_amd64.deb
   sudo dpkg -i fpc-src_2.6.0-2.fc17_amd64.deb
   sudo dpkg -i lazarus_1.0.4-0_amd64.deb

This all went without a hitch and is fully working.  This remind me I 
must update to lazarus 1.0.6.

Hope this helps
Paul
