I have MYSQL installed and running.
I think I need to install something into Lazarus so I can connect etc to

I have followed source advice but can't connect.
Can anyone help and/or is there a manual?

<pre wrap="">Can you tell us what you have tried so far with Lazarus?
Have you followed the guidance at

<pre wrap="">Yes I have, but it assumes that I can connect.
If I follow the source to connect it does not work

thanks for the clear explanation. Now we know exactly how to help
you! ;)

OK, Fair point, diplomatically made! My question should have been:<br>
Is there any changes I need to make to Lazarus, or any <br>
modules or need to install in order to connect to mysql?<br>
<br>
I am copying the sample programme on Wiki that sets up <br>
a form to query a database.<br>
<br>
The message I get is <br>
Error: invalid compiler: file
"/home/kirkpatc/FreePascal/fpc/compiler/ppc386" does not exist<br>
<br>
I have a directory /home/ejm/.lazarus but can't see a compiler in it.<br>
I can compile and run programmes without db involvement.<br>
There must be something in my source looking for a compiler in the
wrong place :-(<br>
