Of course you must not delete anything by hand as soon as you are 
working in a subversion repository.

Once you have checked out a gambas repository, you have to do a 
'./reconf && ./configure -C' to create all the Makefiles.

I suggest you start from scratch again (from a fresh checkout).

Once Makefiles are generated, you just have to use "make" and "make 
install" in the gb.gsl directory.

You have to frequently update your repository to get the last changes.

And you have to run './reconf && ./configure -C' when an autoconf file 
(configure.ac) changes, and sometimes when an automake file 
(Makefile.am) changes. Sometimes it is not needed with Makefile.am 
changes, but I don't know why yet. :-)
