Hello all I am learning free pascal / lazarus by porting a delphi application at work to lazarus on linux ( Mandriva 2010 ). So far I have got it to compile but when I tried to run it it complained about a missing lvga dependency. I installed libvga and now the message is that /dev/mem is not accessible and i need to run the programme suid root. However, I cannot understand the dependency on lvga as I have specified in the compiler options to use the gtk2 widget set. This problem has only occurred sice I updated to fpc 2.2.4 and lazarus 0.9.28.2 ( both installed from the lazarus repositories. None of my other programming work ( in C ) using gtk2 has required lgva to be linked as a dependency.

Check if one of the uses clause contains the 'graph' unit. If so, remove it. Michael.
