I run Ubuntu 64 bit kernel 2.6. I need to upgrade from FPC 2.2.0 to 2.2.2 Is there a way that this can be done via Ubuntu update manager?

(Keep everything up to date from now on)
If there are enough Ubuntu users to justify the setup, would update manager address issues such as standard directories. Mine was installed as root and so non root user did not have write access.

Maybe you should ask that to those people who can actually do something about it, ie, the Ubuntu-people.

This is an Ubuntu-issue. I oculd offcourse answer that if you install Fedora this will all work fine. ;) But better let the Ubuntu-people fix this problem.

But they are a bit behind on fpc-versions, because they are dog-slow and now it's too late to update the fpc-version in Ubuntu 8.10. But let them know, send in reports to them. If they don't get complaints, they will think it's not an issue.

I have SQLdb component installed in Lazarus 0.9.24 beta x86_64-linux-gtk on Ubuntu 64 bit linux.
I tried running mysql but get an error which needs FPC 2.2.3 or later. I can only find RPM files
for that source and I can't install it. I can download FPC.zip and compile that source but it
turns out to be still FPC 2.2.2, which is what I was running.

I think PostgreSQL database system has better record locking and other functions that make
it superior to MYSQL, so rather than spend time on finding an FPC source 2.2.3 or later that
I can make compile I thought I would try Postgress.

I opened a new project and placed a PQConnection on Form1, set host name as localhost,
username as postgres with no password. When I set Connected to "TRUE" I get the
following error.

Can not load PosgreSQL client. Is it installed? (libpq.so)

I can't find a file called libpq.so anywhere on my system. Did a search of components and
can't find anything under PostgreSQL. I have PostgreSQL running and can access it using
psql.

How do I install PostgreSQL client?

I've googled a bit and there seems to be a libpq package for ubuntu: http://packages.ubuntu.com/nl/hardy/i386/libpq5/filelist

It could be that you need the package libpq5-dev also.

You're FPC installs are messed up. You need to link the FPC compiler in the /usr/local to the new version. Use Nautilus to browse your paths and check these links. I'd bet your FPC is pointing to the older version.

You can get the latest form SVN locally and follow the installation instructions on the Wiki to build, install, install source. But when you do the ln (symbolic links) do them under SUDO.

I hear that Postgres was more difficult to manage though.

I would always try to use the Package Manager.

I don't use Ubuntu, but did you try this:

/apt-get install libpq/-dev ?

The easiest (and IMHO cleanest) way to compile FPC from SVN on Linux is via the $LazarusDir/tools/install/create_fpc*.sh scripts, because you get a package for your distro.

Why I can used function my code
SQLQuery1.Locate('kd_pic', Edit1.Text,[loCaseInsensitive,loPartialKey]); am I make a mistake?

We need some more information to help you. What does happen if you use the code above?

If the result of the Locate function is false, nothing is found. If it's true it is found and the current record should be set to the found record.

Did you check the result of the Locate?

Joost.

I already check the result is always FALSE; I used PostGreSQL 8.0 and WinXP Home Edition.
