Description MeatShooter 2020-01-30 18:40:09 UTC
the IDE does not start for a normal user. 

When launching, it gives the error:
Unable to create file "/etc/lazarus/environmentoptions.xml". 


Also, this was reported on the forum some time ago:https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1097586-start-0.html


Reproducible: Always

USE="-minimal -python" ABI_X86="(64)"
Comment 3 James McClain 2020-05-25 06:18:01 UTC
Can confirm.

I had to 'chmod -R go+rwx /etc/lazarus' to allow a normal user to run startlazarus.
Comment 4 Norayr Chilingarian 2020-09-01 17:57:01 UTC
I confirm that the issue exists for me today.
version: 
dev-lang/lazarus-1.8.4-r2

thank you.
Comment 5 Norayr Chilingarian 2020-09-01 17:57:40 UTC
however, if I compile lazarus from source myself - and run ./startlazarus from the source directory - then there is no issue and it works for user.
Comment 6 WGH 2020-09-29 20:58:48 UTC
A sed command swapping PrimaryConfigPath and SecondaryConfigPath introduced in [1] seems to be the culprit. I removed it in Lazarus 1.8.4, and it fixed the issue for me.
