Alright, could be. However, if this is the case, I'm afraid that the resolution of the file owner in the tar installer may not solve the issue with requirements of the debian package for Lazarus mentioned at the beginning, because dpkg would probably not consider the dependency of the Lazarus .deb package on FPC 2.6.4 or higher as fulfilled if FPC was installed using the .tar installer rather than the appropriate .deb package. I may be completely wrong, of course, but that's what I would assume based on my (limited ;-) ) knowledge of dependency handling for dpkg, etc. Tomas _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
