All you have to do is run the lazarus executable from the directory where you 
compiled it. I have it in my home directory, so launching it from a console 
can be done with

cd lazarus
./lazarus

I've added an entry to the KDE menu, which contains the command

/home/eric/lazarus/lazarus

The advantage of having Lazarus in one's home directory is that there are no 
permission problems. In order to use Lazarus you need write permission to its 
files.
