I think zeljko is true... however low dispk space and a lot of other
issues can result in "Error while linking":

You can list dependencies with the following command (in terminal):

  readelf -d ~/Projektek/Lazarus-trunk/lazarus | grep NEEDED
  objdump -p ~/Projektek/Lazarus-trunk/lazarus | grep NEEDED
  ldd ~/Projektek/Lazarus-trunk/lazarus

You can list only the missing dependencies with 'grep' command like this:
  ldd ~/Projektek/Lazarus-trunk/lazarus | grep "not found"

The result of the above command hardly depends on the installed Lazarus
components, and may change if you  install or uninstall some of the
Lazarus components.
