[Lazarus] Lazarus Release Candidate 3 of 2.0

[Joe]

Hi,

In this test installation of Lazarus 2.0.0RC3 the IDE does not show the 
components palette, and under View -> Components the lists are empty.

This I did: Installed Linux Mint 18 Sarah 32-Bit on an old x86 notebook. 
Downloaded fpc-laz_3.0.4-1_i386.deb, fpc-src_3.0.4-1_i386 and 
lazarus-project_2.0.0RC3-0_i386.deb from 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/.

Then I installed the three deb files with GDebi and started the Lazarus 
IDE. A warning "directory lcl not found" appeared. I clicked on "Start IDE".
Under Tools -> Options -> Environment, the field  "Lazarus directory" is 
empty.

Regards --  Joe
