When you just call lazarus, you will start the exe that is in "path".

If you have more that one, then you need to specify the full path.

Maybe startlazarus  will work....

*IF* your install directory are not writeable, then "lazarus" (the ide 
executable) is in PCP. And then startlavacus will work (side effect, the 
splash screen shows the version of startlazarus, and not the version of 
lazarus.

*IF* your "lazarus" (the ide executable) is in /opt/lazarus/... (because 
that is writeable) then only the last build exist.
As I wrote, then you need to directories with each having a full install.

If you want to share the same laz-install folder, for more than one 
build, you must make it read-only.
