Hi Marcos, I am up to the point of using the file:
fpc-2.4.2.i386.linux.tar your instructions are for a .tar.gz file not a .tar file your instructions read su password: xxxxxx // I will amend // cp fpc-2.2.4.source.tar.gz /usr/local/src/ cp fpc-2.4.2.i386.linux.tar /usr/local/src/ cd /usr/local/src/ tar -xvzf fpc-2.4.2.i386.tar // does not work because it expects a .tar.gz file not a .tar file // one of the parameters needs to be changed. // next line amended rm fpc-2.4.2.i386.tar exit That is as far as I have gotten with my lazarus installation for Mint 10 Linux. Windows Free Pascal and Lazarus install NOT attempted so far. I will appreciate your feedback on this. It is only a small change and I expect that Linux newbies like myself will appreciate the corrections, pew Fond Regards, Peter Eric WILLIAMS --- Hobart, Tasmania, Australia --- Phone: +61 (03) 6236-9675 My free websites are: http://pewink.info (&) http://pewslinuxvault.googlepages.com On 23 January 2011 15:43, Peter E Williams <pewslinuxva...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Marcos, > > Thank you.
