[Lazarus] Error when loading forms in Lazarus - Unknown property: "LCLVersion"

[Peter Williams]

Hi Mattias,

I've just spent about 2 hours (approx or even more!!!) using Lazarus
to try to sort out this problem!

I think that a major problem (for me anyway!) is that I don't
understand the concepts of the difference between "Lazarus project
(*.lpi)" and "Lazarus Project source (*.lpr)". In my confusion I've
actually created BOTH in the same folder and using the same units and
forms and resources. THIS IS A NIGHTMARE!!!! { But I'm trying to smile
about it }

Can someone please look at my .lpi or .lpr file(s) and help me to
compile and run them?!? E.g. I would like to send them as an
attachment to a person who would be kind enough to help me sort out
this f*cking mess!!!

Mattias, in the past has been kind enough to receive the files as an
attachment... and I would be happy if he would like to do that again.
HINT HINT ;-)))

This is really not very good for my mental health... and I have
schizophrenia and take medication regularly (and that really works
well... at least most of the time)... What I'm saying it that sometime
having a programming issue like this can drive me off the deep end!
:-( Computing and programming are just hobbies for me. I use Lazarus
because I come from a background where I used to use M$ Windowz and
Delphi 5 and 7... And Lazarus appeals to me because it's sort-of a
Delphi clone. (Now I've given M$ Windowz the flick and my desktop pc
is totally Linux Kubuntu -- and its a very good and recent machine
e.g. good specs!)

And I think I'll stop this message here.

Best Wishes and Hoping that someone will take pity on me and decide to help me
