If I understand right the version is the default when clicking Download link
on Lazarus home page and then again the default link on SourceForge page.
Other details I don't really know. I thought the installation is easy and I
was not prepared for this hassle.
Now I will take a different strategy and create the binary for Win32. Then
we will see later if he still wants to install Lazarus.

In the end this episode will not be a big problem. He will make a
philosophical theory about how things should work but how they don't. :-)

A skype session with you would have problems because of the language
barrier.
He could use a binary for Mac though. Do the OSX binaries have much
variation? It is a recent x86 Mac. Is that info enough to build a binary for
it?
