#37 Install failure on linux

[Dave Liewald]

Lazarus 1.8.2 r57375 FPC 3.0.4 x86_64-linux-gtk2

Components are failing to install with errors in the dbutils unit as follow :

Compile package rxnew 1.1.5.98: Exit code 256, Errors: 3, Hints: 2
dbutils.pas(239,3) Note: Local variable "SaveCursor" not used
dbutils.pas(34,30) Hint: Parameter "Field" not used
dbutils.pas(402,26) Error: Incompatible types: got "TBytes" expected "AnsiString"
dbutils.pas(413,64) Error: Incompatible type for arg no. 1: Got "PChar", expected "TBytes"
dbutils.pas(414,39) Error: Incompatible type for arg no. 1: Got "AnsiString", expected "TBytes"

Please post the issue on the Lazarus forum (https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php) - I fear that there are not many developers looking after the sourceforge tickets.

I am not the maintainer of rx, but a quick look at the version number in the posted error message shows that your rx version is outdated. Please try the current development version in https://sourceforge.net/p/lazarus-ccr/svn/HEAD/tree/components/rx/trunk/ - I checked compilation with Win and Laz1.8.2/fpc3.0.4 and it works fine.
