No.

With or without the package the IDE is

- not working when the recomplation process is started from within the
IDE, e.g. using the menus "Tools -> Build Lazarus" or when issuing the
build command from package configuration.

- working when compiled from a terminal (xterm or rxvt) using the
command "gmake bigide" which respects user packages

I tried several times and the problem is reproducable.
