Thanks Michael and Henry. I suspected that that would be the case but 
was slightly confused by my recollection (perhaps erroneous) that the 
widget set used by the IDE tracked the last one that was built. [Looks 
carefully at options] OK, I think I see how things work. I just thought 
I'd try in case it furnished a way of getting Lazarus working on Solaris.

Reverting to Linux and trying to build with fpGUI from inside the LCL, I 
get stuck at

fpguiint.pp(42,12) Fatal: Can't find unit fpg_main used by fpguiint

Symlinks (3x) appear OK- have I missed something obvious like a prebuild 
stage?
