Yes, because you were using the wrong package.

If you use the correct package (laz_synapse.lpk), there will be no issue.

See e.g. here:

https://sourceforge.net/p/synalist/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/

But you can install it using the Online package manager.

In the online package manager, DO NOT use the pl_synapsevs package.

You myst use the laz_synapse (Synapse 40.1) package. 
It does not have GUI dependencies.

I use it myself in a headless FPC-created server running on linux, since many many
years, and use it in a Delphi-created server also running on linux, so I'm very
confident it works as described :-)
