Hi list,

I'm giving a chance to Antix Mepis on my old pc so, after terminated its installation I'm trying to install Lazarus. As usually I've done on other distro I downloaded fpc 2.2.0 script and got a svn checkout from lazarus repository.

Now, I had to login as root to install fpc script because for default sudo is not allowed on Mepis, so I did not have write permission on /etc for fpc.cfg and it was fine but now, when I tried to compile Lazarus, I got the tipical "Can't find unit contnrs used by Masks". Of course, trying to compile as root works fine and I can have a working Lazarus as well.

I checked fpc.cfg path and it seems ok ! Any ideas ?

Thanks
Antonio

Try 'make OPT=-vut' to find out, if fpc uses the right fpc.cfg and searches in the right paths.

I had a similar problem 2 days ago trying to compile and install FPC 2.2.1 on Windows. I ran fpcmkcfg to create fpc.cfg and changed the paths manually to absolute ones as they were relative ones due to the exact error message you described.
I am not sure this is the issue in your case, but it is worth looking at.
