[Lazarus] Problems with Lazarus

My endeavour to return to Pascal is getting to the point of frustration:

1.  Although I found that sometimes I have to tell Lazarus to scan the
fpcsource to be able to find installed units, it still happens that from
time to time I cannot compile something because a unit cannot be found.

Today it is "*Can't find unit AvgLvlTree ... check if package LazUtils is
in the dependencies"

I have read the wiki and FAQ about this type of problems but that did not
help at all.

Both fpc and lazarus cannot find the unit despite the fact that I did a
rerun of  fpcmkcfg adn despite that the following shows the unit is there:


locate -i avglvltree
/home/js/.lazarus/lib/LazUtils/lib/x86_64-linux/avglvltree.o
/home/js/.lazarus/lib/LazUtils/lib/x86_64-linux/avglvltree.ppu
/usr/share/lazarus/1.0.6/components/lazutils/avglvltree.pas
/usr/share/lazarus/1.0.6/components/lazutils/lib/x86_64-linux/avglvltree.o
/usr/share/lazarus/1.0.6/components/lazutils/lib/x86_64-linux/avglvltree.ppu
/usr/share/lazarus/1.0.6/docs/xml/lazutils/avglvltree.xml
/usr/share/lazarus/1.0.6/test/lazutils/testavglvltree.pas
js at artikel ~/p/pascal> sudo fpcmkcfg > /tmp/fpc.cfg


*2.  My second problem is not that serious but Lazarus as an editor is
extremely slow.  It reminds me of the reason why I do not use Eclipse for
other projects and normally prefer Emacs or Vim.  Unfortunately the fpc-ide
is not debug-enabled and I do not know how to enable it. I have recompiled
the sources and according to what I understand of the configuration in the
sources debug should be enabled.

There must be some way to get around these type of frustrations.  Any help?

Regards
Johann


PS.  I am working with Lazarus 1.0.6 and fpc-2.6.0-7 on Debian.  I have
downloaded the packages from the Lazarus site and removed all standard
Debian freepascal-related packages from my system.
