Ok, I think I understand the reason.
But still, there is no startlazarus in this /home/myname/bin/ , only one in 
usr/lib/lazarus/ starting version 0.9.10 before the printers package 
installation
I had this component installed previously in 0.9.8, and it seemed ok for 
install without being root. 
Still a lot to learn and understand
Thanks Vincent
