Do you have an error message?

Where did you read that? I see it in my Ubuntu 10.04 there. Type "man ld.so".

What does not work with the solution explained on that site? It seems 
perfect...

What do you mean by "scope"? GB_DIR is an environmental variable that tells 
the interpreter where Gambas is installed, and so where it must look for the 
components libraries. The IDE uses it too indirectly to search for other 
Gambas files (control icons, component and class descriptions).
