Hello,

I just reported a bug against gambas2 in another mail.
Here is the almost similar problem with gambas 1.0.11:

$ cd /home/testuser
$ tar xvjf /tmp/gambas-1.0.11.tar.bz2
$ cd gambas-1.0.11
$ ./configure --prefix=/home/testuser/local
$ make
$ make install

fails with

Making symbolic links in /usr/bin...

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/testuser/gambas-1.0.11'

The 'file exists' is because I have another older installation in the 
/usr/bin etc. directories. This however, should have no influence, as I 
have ordered to place everything under /home/testuser/local.

I would appreciate, if this bug could be fixed in the next release.

Thanx in advance,

Guido
