Hi I need help finding the compiler on my computer using Mac OS X 10.6.2. Every time I launch Lazarus IDE I get a message saying that the Free Pascal Source Directory is not found and I can not find the Free Pascal Source directory physically on my computer anywhere, so please can ou give me the exact path on my computer where the Source should be located on Mac OS X 10.6.2. Thanks and Regards,

To Jordan: please mention that you are not subscribed to a mailing list, so people know they have to CC you in replies. Furthermore, this is not really the right list to get help with Lazarus. Better places are http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php?action=forum and http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

Install all 3 dmg.
The fpcsrc dmg installs the fpc sources under /usr/local/share/fpcsrc.

No, only install the sources (fpcsrc) Lazarus disk image in additional to what is already installed (which I assume is the official release from the Free Pascal website at http://www.freepascal.org/download.var). At least in the past, the Lazarus version of FPC 2.4.0 for Mac OS X was missing files: http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,8470.0.html

I also don't think it is a good idea that Lazarus does its own packaging of official release versions of the compiler, because that can only lead to confusion and additional errors (as above -- now before finding out what the problem is, we have to figure out which FPC 2.4.0 they installed).

Agreed. Lazarus should provide its own package and fpc-src (if there're no official one)

Please, create a bug report and assign it to me, so I won't forget it.
