Hi,

My English isn't very good to argue about this kind of bug. So I decided to record a video with step-by-step to reproduce the problem.

Please, see:

http://silvioprog.com.br/video/lazarus_bug/01.html

I downloaded this copy:

ftp://ftp.hu.freepascal.org/pub/lazarus/snapshots/Lazarus-0.9.31-33143-fpc-2.7.1-20111029-win32.exe

As much as I try, I can't initialize the IDE. x(

This bug occurs because wrong encoding while opening config files.

It was fixed to fpc 2.4.4 in revision 32773

I downloaded this copy: ftp://ftp.hu.freepascal.org/pub/lazarus/snapshots/Lazarus-0.9.31-33143-fpc-2.7.1-20111029-win32.exe

It seems to occur with fpc 2.7.1

FPC 2.7.1 is unstable mostly due to changes in encoding and is not good idea to use with Lazarus (or at production at all).

So:

1) stick with fpc 2.4.4 or 2.6 branch (highly suggested)
2) move your config files to a folder without accents and use --primary-/config/-/path/

Yes. Worked properly with this option. :)

Thx.

Another problem in this copy...

Every time I close the IDE, appear the message of the leaks. See: http://imagebin.org/181504

I fixed the problem, rebuilding the entire IDE.

I think that yours forgot heaptrc active when distributing this copy. :)

You should try the one with fpc-2.5.1 (the upcoming 2.6). 2.7.1 is currently not usable for Lazarus.
