You need (as I know) only standard C libraries (you system must have it) and gdk/gtk+…
I've run it on Slackware 7.1, Redhat 7.0 and even FreeBSD 4.0 through 4.2
I using Linux Mandreke 7.2 whith KDE 2 on PIII 500 with 96MB RAM (Work) and a AMD K6II 500 with 128 MB RAM (at home)...
I have some questions for Lazarus groups?
1- What librarys I need to run the Lazarus's IDE?
2- Where I get that libs?
3- Where I put this libs?
4- What is the best Linux Distribuition for use with Lazarus? 5- I have make the full install of Linux Mandrake 7.2, and Lazarus show errors in many files on GTK libs, this is a BUG? 6- I have install FPC 1.05 this works fine, but Lazarus IDE don't active the RUN button, and I can't compile nothing, what is wrong? 7- The very expansive RAD tool, KALIX (about USD 2,000.00) uses QT libs, and have many components, there are any to study thats? 8- I want use Lazarus! can any help me?

1- What librarys I need to run the Lazarus's IDE?
You need (as I know) only standard C libraries (you system must have it) and gdk/gtk+ libraries (as I remember, you need gtk+-devel). Course, you need freepascal to compile lazarus, but it is not a library.
2- Where I get that libs?
I think, your linux distribution must have them :-)
3- Where I put this libs? 4- What is the best Linux Distribuition for use with Lazarus?
I think, it must work with many linux distributions, which are modern enough. I have no problems with RH6.2. I don't know about Mandrake.
5- I have make the full install of Linux Mandrake 7.2, and Lazarus show errors in many files on GTK libs, this is a BUG?
There are many bugs in Lazarus. This seems to be OK. Just ignore it.
6- I have install FPC 1.05 this works fine, but Lazarus IDE don't active the RUN button, and I can't compile nothing, what is wrong?
Compile must work, but you should configure compiler parameters. Besides, you must provide access to all fpc units (and lazarus too).
8- I want use Lazarus! can any help me?
Now ide is more stable and even can be usefull for making simple forms. It does not support events, so you must make them directly (may be in create constructor, as you wish).
Besides, IDE has many bugs. So, temporary you may use my fd2lcl (see http://www.ussr.to/Russia/vvi/fd2lcleng.html). It does not support resource and it references to fdesign, which is quite stable. It does support events. But all these supports are quite temporary. They were usefull enough when IDE was only good for screenshots.
