I had installed Lazarus also, but I can't find it either.
I'll need to buy a book 'using Mac OS/X' first, the doc shipped with the
iMac are .. nothing.
Maybe there is a userguide.pdf available, but studying from a screen is not
my kind of thing.

I printed an read it prior to installing.
I've asked a collegue to come and check it, but he can't get it running
either.
FPC is just a compiler, like dcc.exe. "Getting it to run" involves typing
"fpc" followed by a source file.
We couldn't figure out the difference between methods 1 and 2.
Method 1 is what you have done. Method 2 is if you are using fink (which
you aren't, unless you downloaded and installed it).
It should be installed though: entering fpc in Terminal shows it
This means that you got FPC up and running.
We're both Windows-only developers though...
As for Lazarus, it is installed in a completely non-standard location for
a GUI app: /usr/local/share/lazarus.app (if I remember correctly). It
would be better if it were installed either in /Applications or /
Developer/Applications instead, so you can find it like any other
application. Another useful addition would be for its installer to open
up the containing folder after it's installed (by adding a postflight
script with the "open" command), so you don't have to go hunting for it.
For help with Lazarus specifically you may want to use the Lazarus list
though: http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/ lazarus (but
you can ask here as well).
