I am having problems to install the last version of Lazarus. Please anyone can help me?
I am using linux mint (ubuntu).
I already donwloaded the last version Lazarus 1.6 with fpc3.0.0. and fpc source 3.0.0.
Thank you

What error message do you get?

I have created a Linux Mint 17.3 (Mate) virtual machine to be used with Lazarus. I had no problems installing it from sources. Here is from what I did:

1) Create the directories for files
------------------------------------
mkdir ~/dev
mkdir ~/dev/fpc
mkdir ~/dev/lazarus

2) Download files
------------------
FTP release 3.0.0 binary for Intel X64:
ftp://freepascal.stack.nl/pub/fpc/dist/3.0.0/x86_64-linux/fpc-3.0.0.x86_64-linux.tar

FTP 3.0.0 sources via svn:
cd ~/dev/fpc
svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpc/tags/release_3_0_0 3.0.0

Lazarus release 1.6 via svn:
cd ~/dev/lazarus
svn co http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/tags/lazarus_1_6 1.6

3) Install FPC
--------------
Unpack the FPC tar file into a temp location, then inside that dir execute:
sudo ./install.sh

4) Install Lazarus
------------------
Note that this step may take quite some time...
cd ~/dev/lazarus/1.6
make bigide

5) Start Lazarus IDE
---------------------
~/dev/lazarus/1.6/startlazarus

Now when the start dialog shows up it will probably ask for the FPC sources.
Just navigate to ~/dev/fpc/3.0.0 and hit Ok

DONE!

If you want a start icon on the desktop you can add it easily by: nano ~/Desktop/lazarus_1.6.desktop

Then enter the following into the file:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Exec=~/dev/lazarus/1.6/startlazarus
Icon=~/dev/lazarus/1.6/images/ide_icon48x48.png
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Comment=Lazarus IDE
Name=Lazarus IDE 1.6
GenericName=lazarus 1.6
StartupNotify=false
Categories=Development;IDE;Pascal;

Save this (Ctl-X and yes...)

Finally:
chmod +x ~/Desktop/lazarus_1.6.desktop
Now the start icon will appear on the desktop.

4) Install Lazarus ------------------

Forgot to mention that you need to update your system and get these libraries:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y libx11-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libcairo2-dev gir1.2-coglpango-1.0 libpangox-1.0-dev xorg-dev libgtk2.0-dev libpango1.0-dev

Note that this step may take quite some time... cd ~/dev/lazarus/1.6 make bigide

Hello,
I followed all your steps but when I call

rmedinac at rmedinac-desktop ~/dev/lazarus/1.6 $ make bigide

It does not install. I installed all the libraries as well.

Maybe your .fpc.cfg has wrong -Fu paths?
