Well,
I did as I said I would before I saw your reply....
So I copied the entire Lib directory over and then renamed to indy10.

And I copied in indylaz.lpk file from your previous message on top of
the one from svn.

Opened it in Lazarus Packages/Open... and hit Use/Install.

Unfortunately it did not build correctly, here is the final error
message:

IdStream.pas(29,3) Fatal: Cannot find IdStreamVCL used by IdStream,
incompatible
ppu=/home/pi/dev/lazarus/1.6RC2/components/indy10/lib/arm-linux/IdStreamVCL.ppu,
package indylaz

Do you have any idea why this happened?

The offending line IdStream.pas(29,3) looks like this:
uses
{$IFDEF DOTNET}
  IdStreamNET
{$ELSE}
  IdStreamVCL  <== Error here!
{$ENDIF};


This time I went directly ahead to Install and skipped the Compile
button. Could that be the problem?

---- Later:

Well, I did two things:
1) I removed a Lazbuild compile option I had added earlier today to
make Lazarus strip the symbols off of itself when rebuilding.
It was something like
-g- -Xs
It reduces Lazarus size from about 125 Mb to 25 Mb or thereabouts.

2) I hit the Compile button again and it compiled sucessfully.

3) Hit Use/Install and after a while Lazarus closed and reappeared
with the Indy tabs on the palette.

But why are there duplicate tabs like "Indy Clients Protocols (am)"
and "Indy Clients Protocols (nz)"??
American and New Zealand versions or what?
