Hi Lee, gbWilly, Benoit,

from what little I know (very little), in Debian and its derivatives all
packages (deb with dpkg) are installed like this:
sudo dpkg -i <pacchetto deb>
sudo apt-get install -f

In fact, if I issue the first command, and then check on synaptic I only
find version 3.19 and not those from the official repository.
If I try to select all the gambas3 3.19 entries I get the project, but
if I try to open it it crashes and the current section closes.

Exactly the same thing that happens if I give the commands suggested by Lee

Good night
Gianluigi
