I have checked out lazarus 1.6 on the RC1 tag and now I am a bit
confused regarding the make options...

I start by building lazarus in my source dir below home:
make bigide

But then there is:
sudo make install

which is used to put this lazarus into /usr/local/share/lazarus

What seems to happen is that there are a number of symlinks created in
/usr/local/bin for startlazarus and other items.

What I would like to know is what happens if I already have a
different lazarus version that has been installed by "make install"?

Will the new lazarus replace the older or will there be some version
added to the symlinks?

The new lazarus will replace the old.

I don't dare to run make install until I know the end result...

You can always run "make -n install", it will show you what will happen without 
actually doing it.

Michael.
