This page lists solutions to the most fequent problems that may arise during installation of Lazarus and Free Pascal on Mac OS X. Please read Installing Lazarus on MacOS X first and pay special attention to the sections that apply to your versions of Mac OS X, Xcode, Lazarus, Free Pascal.

Compilation aborts with weird messages

I have correctly installed Lazarus and FPC, but compiling a simple demo program stops with the Free Pascal exit code 256 and the "Lazarus Panic /bin/sh: clang: command not found".

Solution: This behaviour may arise from a too old Xcode version installed. Generally, you should use the newest Xcode version that is available for your operating system. Lazarus 1.6 requires, e.g. Xcode 3.2.6, or newer.
