Just as an FYI:

The above method installed the updated Lazarus under my home directory.
To make the SQLdb tab universally accessible, one can build (as root)
the main Lazarus program using:

   cd /usr/share/lazarus
   make clean bigide LCL_PLATFORM=gtk2     {or qt, or whatever}

This will also make the RTTI and IPro tools available.

It would be nice if this were documented in the README.txt file that is
included in the Lazarus bundle.
