You need to installed also the -dev (or -devel) package

libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so belongs to gtk2 not to gdk-pixbuf-devel.

Plz install apckage gdk-pixbuf-devel at least version 0.14. I will add this requirement to the next lazarus rpm. Probably I will update them next week.

This is not a fpc problem, the error is reported by the GNU linker. Building a C program and linking with -lgdk_pixbuf will also fail.

You can search for libgdk_pixbuf.so or libgdk_pixbuf*.so to check if they maybe renamed the file to some versioned library name.

Hello,

I installed the rpm packages of Lazarus on my SuSE 8.2. The IDE ist running well, but I can't compile even a small programm:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgdk_pixbuf

But gdk-pixbuf-0.18.0-233 ist installed on my system. What ist Lazarus missing?

regards,
Reinhard

Hi again,

I found a broken link and correct them to my environment:

ln -s /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0.200.1 /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf.so

then I compile lazarus and the following error occurs:

which version is the correct version of libgdk_pixbuf for use with lazarus?

Hi all, I have the same problem with fpc1.1, fpc1.0.7, and fpc-cvs. The devel lib are al installed.

a workaround is to compile lazarus with the -dNoGdkPixBufLib option.
