I have a little problem with installing and running Lazarus. I just upgrade ubuntu from 13.04 to 13.10. When i had 13.04, I could install lazarus without any problems, but in 13.10 lazarus magically disappeared, and when I tried install it from ubuntu software center, it said something like in my software resources lazarus-ide-0.9.30.4 doesn't exist.
After some research on net i tried delete all files from earlier installations, download deb packages from sourceforge and install them, but when i want to instal fpc-src, error shows up with output:
(Reading database ... 100%
(Reading database ... 239063 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking fpc-src (from .../Stiahnut/Lazarus/fpc-src.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /home/richi/Stiahnut/Lazarus/fpc-src.deb (--install):
trying to overwrite '/usr/share/fpcsrc/2.6.2/rtl/nativent/tthread.inc', which is also in package fpc-source-2.6.2 2.6.2-5
dpkg-deb (subprocess): decompressing archive member: internal gzip write error: Broken pipe
dpkg-deb: error: subprocess <decompress> returned error exit status 2
dpkg-deb (subprocess): cannot copy archive member from '/home/richi/Stiahnut/Lazarus/fpc-src.deb' to decompressor pipe: failed to write (Broken pipe)
when i started lazarus, it of course tell me that it cant find fpc compier and fpc sources.
So, please, i really need program for school and i dont wanna reinstall os anymore or something like that 🙁
(Ubuntu 13.10 64bit)
P.S: I'm not skilled in linux so if u know some commands to fix it just write them for
copy and paste 🙂
P.P.S:Sorry for bad English, I'm Slovak xD
P.P.P.S: Thank so much for any answers
