Hi:

I can't compile a program using GRAPH unit on Linux. The message is :

lfs1:/mnt/d/pascal#fpc relevami.pas

relevami.pas(890) Warning: Error while linking
Closing script ppas.sh

What can I do to solve this problem ? When I use RH6.2, the same code compile just fine. The problem is on Debian Potato 2.2r5...

Thanks !
(FreePascal is great !!!)

Hi!

Linking relevami /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvga

You need to install libvga.so which is included in the svgalib package of your distribution.

Ciao,

Olaf

This will not be enough. You must install also the development package of svgalib, as it installs a symbolic link from libvga.so.xxx to libvga.so

apt-get install svgalibg1 svgalibg1-dev

I found all libvga*.* at /usr/lib (my gnu/linux is a Debian 2.2r5 Potato). When I make a symbolic link at /lib/ pointing to /usr/lib/libvga.so.1 everything works fine, and now I can compile my sources...!!

Thanks !!! you help me a lot !!!!!
