** Description changed:
+ The symptom is that Lazarus, when it starts up, displays a message box
+ saying
+
+ "The Free Pascal source directory was not found. Some code functions will not
work. It is recommended that you install it and set the path
+ Environment -> Environment Options -> Files [Ignore]"
+
+ A screen-shot is attached to the bug.
+
+ I can confirm that the relevant directory is installed (in Xubuntu, and
probably also was in Kubuntu) and it is just
+ the Environment Option setting that is missing. The text of the message box
misled me.
+
+ After setting this path correctly the message does not return. The
+ preferred behavior of the package should be that this path is set
+ automatically. Otherwise, the warning message should be changed.
+
+ === Original description:
Binary package hint: lazarus
Appears to be the same as
#126003 Please add package fpc-src
But that bug is said to be fixed. Well it isn't fixed in Kubuntu/Xubuntu
8.10 (or current updates).
BTW Just installing the missing package(s) isn't sufficient - the
Lazarus IDE Environment Options FPC Source directory needs to be filled
in (with /usr/share/fpcsrc/2.2.0/).
Lazarus package version 0.9.24-0-9
BTW Launchpad is VERY slow (my broadband connection is fine)
