ok, the only freepascal I found with the package manager was the alternate IDE to Lazarus (can't recall the name now)...
cheers,

Hey all,
since I was using Ubuntu in a virtual machine, it was rather slow. So I have bit the bullet so to speak, deleted a bunch of stuff on my laptop to make room, and now I have installed Ubuntu as a separate program (not needing a separate partition - is supposed to have slightly lower disc access performance, but it seems quite fast for me).
This means I can boot into Vista or Ubuntu now (yay!)
I am now starting again with my Ubuntu software including Lazarus. I have now found this page:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/I...11.04_or_later
and I seem to be having more luck with this way of installing Lazarus (touch wood...and trying not to jinx me! haha)
Hopefully this time will be the charm!
(Written from Ubuntu, Google Chrome)...
cheers,
Paul

Woo Hoo!! it works!!
Now all I need to do is figure out how to dock the messages + source + menu windows together - I did do this in a windows version of Lazarus but I can't recall how now LOL
EDIT: ok, I went here:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Anchor_Docking
See this part of the text:
I hope this helps somone else!There is an IDE package which makes the Lazarus IDE dockable. It is called anchordockingdsgn.lpk. Make sure you only install one docking package. Do not install the easydockmgr at the same time!
cheers,
Paul

You know you could just have done a
Ubuntu 11.04 is usually quite good for keeping on track and its literally as easy as 123Code:sudo apt-get install lazarus
I once tried to change the world. But they wouldn't give me the source code. Damned evil cunning.

Ubuntu is quite good for linux beginners, but their repositories are out of date. If you want the newest version, you always have to find the *.deb or install it from source, which is not that pleasant if you're not used to it. That's the reason I'm moving on to archlinux. It's a load of work to install a full GUI desktop on it, but you'll have exactly what you want and you will know exactly how it works. Also, the software in their repositories is very up-to-date
And I can understand why you want 0.9.30. It was the first version I found pleasant to work with (one debugger issue was finally gone).
I have to give that docking package a try too. I found it annoying to have all those IDE windows live separately on my taskbar. Thanks for that
