Hi all,

Trying to port my fpcup FPC/Lazarus installer to Linux.

Tried a Debian unstable x64 VM with xfce.
Installed fpc (got FPC 2.6, ok).
Tried lazarus => got old 0.9.30 version that didn't seem to have
lazutils package. Ok, I'll get the snapshot
cd ~
wget
ftp://ftp.hu.freepascal.org/pub/lazarus/snapshots/lazarus-0.9.31.35140-20120206.amd64.deb.tar
tar xvf lazarus-0.9.31.35140-20120206.amd64.deb.tar
rm *qt*.deb #we're using gtk here, this will error out
dpkg -i *.deb
(fiddled some with removing all traces of 0.9.30, rebooting etc)

Worked.
However ran startlazarus, got complaints about instantfpc missing etc.

Tools/build lazarus=>error
../lcl/lclproc.pas(39,2) Fatal: Can't find unit AvgLvlTree used by LCLProc

Lazarus source directory and FPC source directory seem ok in Lazarus
options.

Realized I probably had to run this as root; did so; same problem.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Reinier
