[Lazarus] FreeBSD 9.1 (i386) and Lazarus IDE 1.0.4 (fpc 2.6.0) fails to start

[Nikos Pasialis]

Problem description
--------------------------
Unable to start the IDE of Lazarus 1.0.4 (fpc 2.6.0) on a FreeBSD 9.1
(i386) machine.

I have installed Lazarus and fpc through sources from the port under
ports/editors/lazarus on a FreeBSD 9.1 i386 vmware guest. I have installed
the gtk2 interface
Yet is installed :
Lazarus 1.0.4
fpc 2.6.0
(please refer to 'System Information' for more detailed description)

When i try to start the lazarus ide by invoking the command 'lazarus' as a
standard user at the xterminal program under XFCE4  (4.10) the IDE does no
start and I get the following output at the console.
$ lazarus

The same problem occurs even when invoking the command as root.
I have even compiled and tested through ports the gtk1 and qt interfaces of
lazarus (ports/editors/lazarus) and tried them with the same results.

The Lazarus IDE can not run.
