Normal user privileges. The 'make' in the cvs does not install anything, but simply compiles the lazarus executable. Can u plz send the error message?

Yes, the form editing is under development. There are still some bugs. I will try my luck to fix them, but I can't estimate, when a reasonable portion of the components will work together with the designer. Plz be patient.

It is used by the lcl. The fpc does always an up to date check for all units.

Your second lcl path
/home/rob/lazarus/lcl/gtk
must be replaced with
/home/rob/lazarus/lcl/units/gtk.
