If the lazarus was created under .lazarus/bin, then this executable was
created by the IDE.
If the IDE created this executable, then it knew the lazarus sources. So the
config already contains the correct path.
The only case, where the IDE does not know the lazarus source path is right
after installation, when there are no configs. It uses as default the
FileUtil.ProgramDirectory, which uses the PATH variable, backtracks symbolic
links and expand the filename to find the 'lazarus' executable, which should
be right in the lazarus source directory.
How did you install lazarus, and how to you start it the first time?
