[Help] Installing Imaging library on linux ubuntu and lazarus.

[thorax]

Hi! i used Imaging library with linux ubuntu and lazarus a year ago.  I left over the project for some time , and now i want to continue it. I have downloaded lazarus 0.9.26  and Imaging 0.26.2. I installed all the Lazarus and FPC deb's (downloaded from the lazarus web page) , and it runs and compiles ok.

When i used the library a year ago , i used to paste these lines into /etc/fpc.cfg for the library to work:

Code Select Expand


-Fi/home/alejandro/PHOTO_CROP/Imaging/Source

-Fu/home/alejandro/PHOTO_CROP/Imaging/Source/JpegLib

-Fu/home/alejandro/PHOTO_CROP/Imaging/Source/ZLib

-Fu/home/alejandro/PHOTO_CROP/Imaging/Source/Projects

-Fu/home/alejandro/PHOTO_CROP/Imaging/Source/Extensions

-Fu/home/alejandro/PHOTO_CROP/Imaging/Source/Wrappers/*

-Fu/home/alejandro/PHOTO_CROP/Imaging/Demos/ObjectPascal/Common

-Fu/home/alejandro/PHOTO_CROP/Imaging/Extras/Extensions

-Fl/home/alejandro/PHOTO_CROP/Imaging/Extras/Extensions/J2KObjects

-Fu/home/alejandro/PHOTO_CROP/Imaging/Extras/Extensions/LibTiff


-Sgi2dh

But now i have done that and it does not work.

when i compile an app using the library i get this:

unit1.pas(9,12) Fatal: Can't find unit Imaging used by Unit1

I also have tried to install it from the package .pkg

/usr/lib/lazarus/tools/svn2revisioninc.pas(373,1) Fatal: Can't create object ./svn2revisioninc.o

also i have run the Shell script provided, and got:

How should i install the library in order to use it in ubuntu 8.10 ? thanks!

Are you really sure the paths you pasted into fpc.cfg are still valid?
Other apps compile ok in Lazarus?

Yes, the path's are fine.

If i compile an empty project i get no errors. Strange Thing  ???

and im having the same problem with windows
