You really shouldn't have lazarus installed in such a "shared" location on your system. A normal user doesn't have write access, and no, I wouldn't recommend you running Lazarus as root. Uninstall and maybe use a different installation method so you can choose the destination directory. I recommend installing Lazarus in ~/devel/lazarus/ for example - where you have write access. Then you shouldn't have this problem again. FPC is not so much a problem installed in a shared location, because normally you don't need to rebuild FPC. But Lazarus IDE is another story (eg: every time you install new components in the IDE, it requires a rebuild).
