Problem with fields editor in Lazarus

Hi all - I'm very experienced with Delphi, but very new to Lazarus and Zeos.

I'm using Lazarus 0.9.20 beta, and Zeos...I don't know how to tell what version I have but I just checked it out a couple of days ago using SVN. In my SVN client it says the following:

branches
last changed revision 223 last author mdaems last change date 2007-02-27

tags
last changed revision 222 last author mdaems last change date 2007-02-24

trunk
last changed revision 219 last author helly last change date 2007-02-23

Anyway, when I double-click on a query or table component to bring up the fields editor, I get an exception that says:

ZDataset.pas(54,6) Error: Identifier not found: TDatasetErrorEvent

Any idea what's causing this and how I can fix it?

Thanks,
Rich

I've gotten beyond the exception I was getting when I tried to use the fields editor, but I still am not able to use the fields editor. When I double-click on a TZTable component, I get a default event created in the editor. I don't get the option of using the fields editor when I right-click on it.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Rich

I've been away from Lazarus and Zeos for a while, but I'm back at it and still have this problem. When I double-click on a TZTable component it takes me to the editor and creates an ApplyUpdateError handler. When I right click on the TZTable component Lazarus becomes stupid...I can move forms around but can't select any other component. I have to kill it and restart it.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks,
Rich

Lazarus based on FPC 2.0.4 does not support FieldEditor
Try to download and install lazarus based on FPC 2.1.1 or currently 2.1.5
you can download it from official lazarus url on the daily snapshot

Thanks bangfauzan - do I need to get a different download of Lazarus? Or can I just get the proper version of FPC? I'm in the process of getting FPC 2.1.4 right now.

It looks like I'm out of luck. There does not appear to be a Lazarus daily snapshot that includes fpc-src 2.1.5 for Linux. Am I right about that?
