I have just installed UIB components and there are components on the palette.

Man, that is so odd. I did essentially the same thing except all my stuff was installed in /usr/lib/lazarus/coponents. Same thing with lpk.

Ergo: you've installed lazarus TWICE. You were installing in one of
them, but you started the other one.

No, I installed twice, but the second time only after uninstalling the first. I don't have two separate installations.

(one in /usr/lib/lazarus, and one in /usr/lib/shared)


The only installation that I have is in /usr/lib/lazarus. There is no /usr/lib/shared directory, et al or even as I think you mean, /usr/share/lazarus either.

Next question is: which distro do you use? If it's FC, you probably
installed the rpm provided by fedora, which installs
in /usr/lib/lazarus. But the rpm you can download on the lazarus website
installs to /usr/shared/lazarus....


I am using CentOS4.4 and I installed the following from sourceforge:
fpc-2.0.40-i586.rpm
fpc-src-2.0.4-0.i386.rpm
lazarus-0.9.0.20-0.i386.rpm




And everything looked like it compiled fine too, at least no visible errors that I could see.

I still find it stranghe, though, that he can't find the firebird-
client-library. But I think you've installed something else wrongly..


Yes, very strange. As I mentioned in another thread, I am pretty new to linux so I wasn't sure what the behavior of shared objects (dll's) would be. It just made sense that the components would look first in the application directory, but is not finding them. I even tried putting copies where I thought it might look for them such as /bin, /usr/bin, /usr/lib, etc. and still no love.

Thanks for replying!
