[lazarus] Control not found

[Matthew Bradford]

Hello,
   Yes, that is the issue I have been having: "Fatal: Can't find unit 
CONTROLS".  Sorry I didn't put that in the original message it was late 
and I thought I had.  The issue here is that even if I put the units in 
the same directory as my project it still fails.  I've not put in the 
source, but should I really need to do that for a "hello world" app? 
 Does the zip file on the website work?  Actually it seems more like an 
issue with the fpc.cfg file (or fpc's inability to look for something in 
any new directories.)

Actually.. now I think about it.  I even tried putting the things into 
another directory I KNEW was working properly. (where CRT is at) and it 
STILL gave me the same error.

Any ideas?
 - Matt
