Hi All,
Today I downloaded these 2 files: lazarus-0.9.30-i386.deb.tar & fpc-2.4.2-0.i386.deb.tar and after unarchiving them I did a "sudo dpkg -i *" Selecting Applications / Programming / Lazarus (0.9.30) gives: System default is missing
The system default lazarus executable is missing, butyour customexecutable is still there:/home/peter/.lazarus/bin/lazarusThis will be started ... Lazarus directory not found
The current Lazarus directory "/home/peter/.lazarus/bin/"does not look correct.Without it You will not be able to create LCL applications.Check Environment -> Environment Options -> Files I tried changing the directory to "/usr/lib/lazarus/0.9.30/" Build Lazarus gives "Error..."
Best Regards,Peter / pew

It started your old Lazarus executable. Not the new 0.9.30. That's because startlazarus does not search in many places. I will extend that. But the change will not be in the 0.9.30 release. Change the Lazarus directory to the new directory and restart the IDE. The errors should be gone.

Alternative: Close IDE, delete your config directory: ~/.lazarus, start IDE. Then you get the settings of the debian package.

Lazarus directory not found The current Lazarus directory "/home/peter/.lazarus/bin/"does not look correct.Without it You will not be able to create LCL applications.Check Environment -> Environment Options -> Files I tried changing the directory to "/usr/lib/lazarus/0.9.30/"

What do you mean with 'tried'? Did you get an error message that the directory is not a Lazarus directory?

Build Lazarus gives "Error..."

Probably because you mixed versions.

Hi All, Today I downloaded these 2 files: lazarus-0.9.30-i386.deb.tar & fpc-2.4.2-0.i386.deb.tar and after unarchiving them I did a "sudo dpkg -i *"

This system was unstable and another call to dpkg deleted it. I would appreciate any advice on installing Lazarus 0.9.30 on Linux Mint 10.

Startlazarus now shows the system default file name.

>The system default lazarus executable is missing, but>your customexecutable is still there:>/home/peter/.lazarus/bin/lazarus>This will be started ...

I just installed the deb packages. Startlazarus found the right Lazarus executable. It looks in the same place where the startlazarus executable is located. So, unless you forgot to install a package, I have no idea how you managed the above error.

I did a clean installation of Lazarus 0.9.31 with the subversion command on this page: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Getting_Lazarus

And then I have a working copy of Lazarus 0.9.31 for Linux Mint 10. End of story. That's why the subject of the email was prefaced with "SOLVED".
