Then I examined what had happened and I found that the install script

pointing to these executables effectively decoupling the lazarus
installation in the /home/pi tree from use!
That is the intention.
So in essence what could be done to install Lazarus in Raspbian Jessie
is to use the make install command as su but then adjust it by
changing the symlinks back to the true installation directory in the
home tree.
Usually that is NOT what you want in a default install.
Well, Juha in an earlier post seem to indicate that one should keep
Lazarus in ones home dir and use it from there too...
Yes, I was about to mention that.
But he did not mention make install of course.
I needed that to get a way to make Lazarus visible on the start menu.
I've already pointed you at the relevant xdg utility, but quite frankly
I wonder why I bother.
Anyway I now examined more and found that the install actually copied
970 MB worth of data to /usr/local/share/lazarus...
Probably the entire chunk of files.
