Ok thanks,

In the Finder, type cmd-shift-g (or menu Go and then "Go to Folder..."), and type /usr/local/share/lazarus. You should find the Lazarus application there. The reason that you don't find stuff located there by default via the GUI (you can use an advanced search to also search those locations), is that regular applications are not supposed to be installed there. Only Unix-based stuff lives there normally, and people using that normally use the command line.

I get an error though:
Library not loaded: /sw/lib/libglib-1.2.0.dylib
Are there any other packages to install then ?

the Unix-underpinnings of Mac OS X would certainly be useful if you have no prior Linux/Unix-experience.

which I don't have at all.
I need it for just one application for the moment, maybe later others will follow. But most likely, I'll need to convert that application to WinCE/Symbian/Linux first
The reason I want to use FPC/Lazarus.

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.

Such books are unlikely help you with getting Lazarus running, as Lazarus does not (yet) behave like any other Mac app in many respects (it's currently a hybrid combining various Windows, Unix and some Mac conventions in different areas). That said, a book that focusses on the Unix-underpinnings of Mac OS X would certainly be useful if you have no prior Linux/Unix-experience.
