I recently installed linux mint 18.2 on a laptop I use for coding. I then installed lazarus 1.8.2, using fpc 3.04-2_amd64.deb and fpc-src_3.04-2_amd64.deb. Everything seemed to install OJ, but when I start the ide, the Free Pascal icon comes up, then disappears and the compiler doesn't run. I tried completely reinstalling but that didn't help. What ast do I try next?

Try starting it from a terminal. You will then normally see any error messages that are output to the console. This should help us for further analysis of the problem.

Just to make sure: You mean the Lazarus splash screen, right?

The IDE, not the compiler, right?

Please open a terminal and run

startlazarus

You should get some output.
