I encountered this when I forgot to add the path of the component in the 
list of library paths in 'Project / Options / Directories'. You can do 
this automatically if you add the Delphi source file to the project (in 
the project manager). Hope, I was clear enough and that it helps. I 
often fighted with this error, but with some try and error cycles I 
ended up with a running code!

Kind regards,
