Cant correctly install Lazarus

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

If you are getting trouble in installing via Software Center then you can install the latest version by downloading the .deb files. If you want to install the latest version then following way would help you.

How to install latest Lazarus (1.0.12) via downloading .deb files

First remove any residual/broken packages of Lazarus if any by executing these commands:

sudo apt-get purge fpc lazarus

sudo rm -Rf /usr/lib/fpc

sudo rm -Rf /usr/lib/lazarus

sudo rm -Rf /usr/share/fpcsrc

sudo rm -f ~/.fpc

sudo rm -Rf ~/.lazarus

Now downloading the latest .deb files:

32-bit version

Execute these commands in terminal:

mkdir ~/lazarus1.0.12 && cd ~/lazarus1.0.12



wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Linux%20i386%20DEB/Lazarus%201.0.12/lazarus_1.0.12-0_i386.deb/download

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Linux%20i386%20DEB/Lazarus%201.0.12/fpc-src_2.6.2-0_i386.deb/download

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Linux%20i386%20DEB/Lazarus%201.0.12/fpc_2.6.2-0_i386.deb/download



sudo dpkg -i *.deb

64 Bit Version

Execute these commands in terminal:

mkdir ~/lazarus1.0.12 && cd ~/lazarus1.0.12



wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Linux%20amd64%20DEB/Lazarus%201.0.12/lazarus_1.0.12-0_amd64.deb/download

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Linux%20amd64%20DEB/Lazarus%201.0.12/fpc-src_2.6.2-0_amd64.deb/download

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Linux%20amd64%20DEB/Lazarus%201.0.12/fpc_2.6.2-0_amd64.deb/download



sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Note: If it says while installing, some library files missing then you can install that using sudo apt-get -f install name_of_the_missing_file

Once installed you can start lazarus by executing this command: startlazarus or type startlazarus after pressing Alt+F2. You'll get lazarus icon on dash after a system restart.

Reply if something goes wrong, or you get any error at any command by mentioning the command with the error.
