One last question.
I was able to successfully instal Lazarus and compile a project, however I cannot run it. It errors out with wording I can't read (in IDE). When running in terminal mode I get this:

LM_SCREENINIT called --> should go to GTKObject.init TODO: Check This
Forms.pp - Finalization Section

Just install the development packages, normally called <packagename>-dev.

This may very well be a problem with Mandrake 8 or my limited knowledge with Linux. When I do a "make" when installing Lazarus everything goes well except for the linking. I receive an error during the linking that states /usr/bin/ld can't find -lX11. I have the /usr/X11R6/lib in the ld.so.conf file. Also, I am able to locate libX11 where it finds two files; libX11.so.6 and libX11.so.6.2

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think the work all of you have done on this project is great!

Thanks, John Mitson

Marco - Your suggestion worked very well, but I did have to symlink about 5 - 6 libs.

Mojada - Thanks for responding, but unfortunately I wasn't able to read your message since I only can read/speak one.

Thank you again :-) John

There should be a symlink from libX11.so to libX11.so.6.

cd /usr/X11R6/lib
ln -s libX11.so.6 libX11.so
ldconfig
