Did you not consider using the ppa? Keep your Gambas up to date: -
Gambas3 Stable
Code: Select all
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:gambas-team/gambas3 && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install gambas3
So I thought I would try it .
my results :
mhc@mhc:~$ sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:gambas-team/gambas3

What system do you have?
is it Ubuntu based?
I just tried it here on LinuxMint and no problems.
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:gambas-team/gambas3
[sudo] password for bonus:

If at first you don't succeed , try doing something differently.

Re: last post from "Did you know"
If you are using Linux Mint then I would remove all Gambas files.
Open Synaptic, search for gambas3 and delete them all.
If the ppa has been installed, you should see it in Software sources.
Then run: -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get -y install gambas3
That should fix it.

Works fine under Arch Linux as it is in the repository.

Re: last post from "Did you know"
Yes so Debian is not Ubuntu based. The PPA method only installs binaries for Ubuntu systems.
And derivatives of Ubuntu like Linux mint.
Sadly not back portable to Ubuntu's Debian base.

Re: last post from "Did you know"
Bruce is correct that the ppa is an Ubuntu idea, however, it can be used on Debian. Have a look here.
Just be careful, first I would test it out on a fresh install that you can afford to screw up or a VM.
