Hi - I'm running Lazarus under Linux, and recently rebuilt Lazarus to use gtk2.
Now whenever I restart Lazarus, I now get the question "Which Lazarus should be started?"
- the default system or my custom one?

How can I configure Lazarus to start the default system, without having the dialogue appearing every-time it is launched?

Many thanks
Marc

It means the default lazarus is newer than your custom built one.

Delete your custom one in ~/.lazarus/bin

It means the default lazarus is newer than your custom built one.

is this a version or a timestamp "problem"?

I guess: neither.
The IDE compares the file date.
I would say this case is a "forgot to clean up problem".

hehe... ok...

FWIW: file date == timestamp in the relatively loose terms i was using to try to be clear across any possible language barriers... doncha love'em? ;)

on a similar note, i ran into much the same thing recently on a development box for a much different project... when resetting the box, we blew the BIOS setting away by removing the battery for a few days... when starting it for the first time after replacing the battery, someone forgot that July is the 7th month and instead put in 6 for the month... when the project code was loaded and then updated, things went all wonky due to dates being "in the future" on the existing files as compared to those being applied from the update package... let's just say that it weren't a pretty sight and resulted in a complete reload after correcting the bad date setting :)
