Thanks,
what I did meanwhile was this:

- Clicked the Compile button
- Nothing seemed to happen so:
- I clicked the Use/Install function
- Then it said something about already busy or similar
- Still there appeared to be nothing going on, but I went for
afternoon tea
- Came back and saw nothing changed so I assumed the Compile part was
done and again activated Use/Install.
- But as before there is no indication that something is actually
going on....
- It would be nice with a status message "Building package -
Rebuilding Lazarus - Done"

While writing this post I suddenly saw some blinkings happening on the
background window  where VNC shows my RPi2 desktop, so I had a look
and it looks exactly as when I left off.
However, I now have an lNet tab on my component palette!

Question:
Is there supposed to be some indication towards the user that
something is going on when a package is being compiled or installed?
If not then I suggest that it is added to Lazarus.

If thers is a message then I certainly saw nothing, so could it be
platform dependent (Raspberry Pi2/Raspbian Jessie in my case) or
display dependent (tightvnc server on RPi2 and VNC client on Win7
laptop)?

I installed FPC 3.0.0 and Lazarus 1.6RC2 from svn sources.
