Hi.

I'm not sure whether this problem is down to the package or Lazarus.

I have tried to install the latest trunk version of FPSpreadSheet (found here: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/FPSpreadsheet) but for some reason i can't get it working.

Btw. my system: Lazarus 0.9.27 r20988 FPC 2.3.1 x86_64-linux-gtk 2 (beta)

First of all - compiling the package gives two error, easily fixable, but they were there. Then after hitting the "install" button i'm asked to rebuild lazarus, which I do. However, in my terminal i notice an odd output, which i belive shouldn't be there (output attached as text file). And afterward when i try to include the unit(s) in my uses clause, I get a "... Fatal: Can't find unit fpspreadsheet used by ...". In the Package graph, "configure installed packages", etc. it is however listed correct.

Perhaps someone else have tried working with FPSpreadSheet and got it working.

Kind regards,
Torsten Bonde Christiansen.

I'm using it in Windows (and developing) and I had not problems in the past (not tested the last 2 revisions) but such kind of error looks like a duplicate .ppu file. Look at 1 or 2 lines before the error(in the messages window) for something like "unit xxxxx checksum changed" or something like that. If that happends you may have 2 source files with the same name in two different places or an old .ppu file laying around your HD.
