Hi Micheal, I now have everything installed and my Lazarus compiles with a GTK2 ide, Great! Alas my zeos components will not compile though. I have had another look at the source rpm and during the installation part, there are a couple of messages about "user 'Joost' (IIRC) is not available, using root." and there is one other user name with the same message. The install process completes and returns a successful completion code. If I then check the list of files installed, the two source files already named are both listed, but with a big question mark before their names *where the path name should be*, i.e. they went nowhere. hth neal. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
