Lazarus in a multiuser environment with extra components

Right now I'm using Lazarus 0.9.14 on Linux. It's just been installed
from the lazarus rpm package. I want to add components to the initial
installation (such as pascal script or whatever).

What's the best way to achieve this on Linux so the initial lazarus
installation can be installed from the RPM, the components can then be
built in afterwards, and different users can use all added components.

Or is it necessary to build lazarus completely from source with all
desired components and then package it as an RPM?

I'm not sure I understand correctly (which is not unusual).

I installed rpm packages as root, then everytime I wanted to add
component, I did it as root to be able to rebuild Lazarus....then as
user the components are there.

Did I understand correctly?

If a component is opened and installed as root, others users cant
execute lazarus correct.

The newer versions of Lazarus work with global links. The global links
are text file that references the location of component. The globals
links must be criated on directory LAZARUS/packager/glocallinks. There
are many examples in this location.


I hope to help. Excuse-me for my english!

In my experience, components installed by root can be safely used by
standard users. Am I missing something?
