Hi Lee,

first of all I apologize for the delay in replying, Saturday is a
special day for me dedicated to my wife.

Now I think I understand better, Suse OBS is a kind of PPA that should
also work on other distributions.
So the fact that I tried Manjaro first, which installed Gambas with just
one click, misled me and made me believe that there was no need to add a
repository with obs.
Unfortunately the commands you passed to me (as I had already
communicated to you) do not install a working Gambas.
