is there really any development eviroment for ubuntu ?

[supertappy]

sorry i'm a bit of a noob with ubuntu, but have been using the dreaded windows for many years, programming. My tool of choice is Delphi, which no longer exists for linux.

There is this freeware (of course) application called lazaraus which I can install, but whenever i try even run the simple program i get

/usr/lib/lazarus/0.9.28.2/lcl/masks.pas(28,22) Fatal: Can't find unit contnrs used by Masks

what happened to setup.exe? and all needs doing to install, just click next, next, next ,next, wait a bit and there is delphi sitting in the start menu, and it works

ending rant now

and yet again trying eclipse with c++

sudo apt-get install eclipse eclipse-cdt
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
eclipse is already the newest version.
E: Couldn't find package eclipse-cdt

Try with:

$ sudo apt-get install eclipse

Are you trying to run a Windows executable on Linux? It does not work that way. Did you try installing Lazarus through Synaptic?
It looks like eclipse-cdt is not in the main Ubuntu repository. Do you have the universe repository enabled?
