[lazarus] Need Help Installing/Launching Lazarus

[Greg Kagel]

I've run into a problem even getting Lazarus to launch.  AFAICT, I
followed the installation instructions correctly, but nightly builds
over the last three days have all crashed on launch.

What I've done (on a Linux-Mandrake 7.1 system):

	Installed fpc-1.0.5-laz.20010401.rpm
	Installed lazaruslinux.tar.gz to /usr
	Added -Fu/usr/lib/lazarus/0.7/units to /etc/ppc386.cfg

What happens when I try to launch Lazarus:

I'll free them

Since this has happened with three consecutive builds and I've not seen
it mentioned on the mailing list, I assume the problem is in my setup. 
I'm just not experienced enough to know where the problem is.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
