You have to add the paths to richmemo and richmemo/gtk2 to the unit file
search path (-Fu) or the path to richmemo/lib/xyz-linux/ to the libraries
search path (-Fl). The latter only works if the richmemo was compiled before
(installed the package in the IDE .fe).

Don't know why this would be a Really Bad Idea. The unit path could lead to
lazarus rebuilding when you do a full build of your project which won't
happen when using the library path.
