[Lazarus-ccr-general] help: fpc source directory- install and configuration almost complete

[Jim M. <thi...@ya...>]

hi-

suse linux 9.3 pro
i went to the fpc website and downloaded the big tar
file.  i uncompressed everything and ran sh install.sh
from konsole.

i was able to compile and link lazarus from a copy i
contained from svn.

now i am getting this message when i put in an
environment value for lazarus.

the fpc source directory
/usr/local/lib/fpc/2.0.0/units/i386-linux/ does not
look correct. normally it contains directories like
rtl, fcl, packages, compiler.

now this seems strange because when i look in this
directory i see rtl, fcl, packages (no compiler...that
is in /usr/local/bin

when i put a button on a form and try to place a click
event i get 
/lazarus/lcl/lclclasses.pp(32,3) Error: unit not
found: Classes

now this seems strange because i definitely have an
lcl directory off of /home/thirdshift/lazarus

at the console i typed fp and a little ide came up and
i typed in some pascal code build/compile/run.  it was
cool but i didnt like the output window.  i will have
to figure out something better for that for testing.
the output window looked like it was the konsole
window as well.

my biggest roadblock early on was i didnt have the
devel files for my suse 9.3 linux pro. once i got far
enough where the linker was giving error messages i
could read what i had to fix.  they were (devel) not
included.  i had to go over to source forge and get
them and install.  

oh. i almost forgot.  do i need to put in a make path
in environment?

any help so i can fix this is cool and appreciated.

the suggestions of mattias and don were a huge help so
far (plus the forum searching)

i better get some sleep.

thanks,
jim
