Cannot find lhelpcontrolpkg used by Lazarus

[odvesims]

Hey There! I'm trying to compile my lazarus project in a Raspberry PI. I have lazarus installed by when I'm trying to install some packages, it throws the following:

Cannot find unit lhelpcontrolpkg used by Lazarus

What'd be the cause and how can I fix this?

Thanks

Normally this package is known to the IDE. No idea, what went wrong here. Anyway, in Lazarus, go to "Package" > "Open package file (.lpk)", navigate to (lazarus)/components/chmhelp/packages/help/, open lhelpcontrolpkg.lpk, click "Compile" and then "Use" > "Install".

Thanks wp. That worked. It's now throwing the same error but for a different package. I'm gonna repeat the process and see where it gets me.

I repeated the process until the error changed (it was saying something like trying to get printer4Laz but Printer was found). I tried restarting the IDE and when I try to add the DateTimeCtrl package (to get the DateTimePicker control) it's once again throwing the 'Cannot find lhelpcontrolpkg used by Lazarus'...

No idea what's screwing up your package list. Normally package information is stored in the files "packagefifles.xml" and "staticpackages.inc" in your Lazarus profile folder. Unfortunately I cannot help with the Raspberry Pi.
