Hi.
I just upgraded from Lazarus .26 to .28 (Ubuntu). However, no shortcut was created on my desktop or in my Start menu?
How can I run Lazarus?
There are about 50MB in /lib/lazarus folder, but I don't know which file is the actual program to run.

Hi,
Look for:
lazarus-ide
or
startlazarus
Bart
Is there an icon from the Applications/Programming/Lazarus? 2009/10/7 CubicDesign :
1. No. I checked that menu also. There is only the Python icon.
2. I have used the DEB packages to install it (GDebi). I had no error messages while installing the lazarus-src_0.9.28-0_all.deb packege but the lazarus-ide_0.9.28-0_i386.deb package said:
Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: fp-compiler (>= 2.2.4-3)
3. That is the name of the file that I should run? I can do a search for it.

I have found only the source code of the IDE:
/usr/lib/lazarus/0.9.28/ide/startlazarus.lpr and lpi It looks it isn't compiled Right?
I supposed that the DEB packaging will do all the job for me. Do I have to compile it or something?

Did you force installation or not? If not, lazarus-ide_0.9.28-0_i386.deb is not installed and you don't have executables.
Download the tar with fp deb packages too.
Or configure to use the Ubuntu repo:

Did you force installation or not?
I have not even the slightest clue. I just open the package in GBebi and pressed the Install button. For two out of four DEB files it worked. There is any easy to use installer (like the Setup files on Windows) for Lazarus?

1.) Right click Applications menu...
2.) Select Edit Menus
3.) Select Programming Menu on left side

Fill out form
Name: Lazarus
Command : (Path to your lazarus install)/startlazarus Click on Icon and change Browse to Path to your Lazarus/images/icons Press OK.
Select favorite Lazarus Icon.
Press Ok
Press Close.
Go to Applications/Programming/Lazarus
The hardest thing is to locate your startlazarus binary. I have my own location which would be of no use to you and I don't use the deb distributions so I can't tell you where it would be placed. I use SVN to get the latest and greatest.
2009/10/7 CubicDesign :
Yep... that's my problem: I don't know where are the binaries for Lazarus or if it has successfully installed.

More bad news: I wanted to install Lazarus using the RPM packages. I got this:
Could not start process rpm
Make sure that the rpm binary are installed properly on your system..

All you need to do to find the file is Click Places Menu, then "Computer" then "Filesystem" then press the Search toolbar button then tye in "startlazarus" in the field and press enter.
Then look at it's location and use that as the path.

This only works, if actually installed the Lazarus executables, which he did not (probably), because he did not update fpc.
Vincent
From a terminal type (command prompt)
If you install Lazarus from Ubuntu's repository it will be older but at least you can get started.
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev libgtk1.2-dev libgdk-pixbuf-dev libgpmg1-dev fakeroot libncurses5-dev
sudo apt-get install fpc
sudo apt-get install lazarus
If you want... I can share my Subversion commands and you can have the latest and greatest that way... But you gotta know your way around the terminal a bit.
Thanks Andrew.
I had the old version. I just uninstalled. I wanted to upgrade to the new version.

Thanks but I am interested in using the stable version. I think that the night builds may be unstable sometimes. If you think otherwise, please share.

I already searched the entire disk from Krusader. There is no such file. I looks like that only the source files of Lazarus were installed.
There is a special command line I need to use to install DEB packages. I used the GUI. Maybe it will work from command line?

Maybe you need to fix the dependencies as I told earlier. If you deliberately chose to ignore me, please let me know, then I will stop responding in this thread.

It looks like the uninstaller was unable to properly uninstall the previous version of Lazarus:

Sorry :)
I just looked over your two emails but you didn't said nothing about dependencies or how to fix this?
Where can I find the tool that fixes this?

I said:
I just clicked a TXT file and somerthing really really strange happen: Lazarus (the new version) started. The executable is "/usr/lib/lazarus/0.9.28/lazarus".
However, it complains that an older version of FreePascal was found. As I said, looks like the uninstaller was unable to properly remove previous version of Lazarus.
I am downloading the new version right now.
Hope it will work. I was struggling with this for hours. It will be nice to have a true installer - you know, true GUI style: push a single button and relax while everything is put in place. Thanks a lot for help.
:)

PS: why is Lazarus associated with TXT files? Is is possible to put pascal code in TXT files and compile them?

This message is normal on a non rpm system.
You have a dpkg system, so you should use that.
