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!

cheers,
