I admit choosing /opt/gambas as default is not a good idea. I should use 
/usr/local/gambas. But while gambas is in beta version, it is not dramatic.

How could you use a RPM for system X on system Y at the moment, as 
dependencies are strings that always differ ? For example, Mandrake adds 
"mdk" everywhere, so I imagine that a RPM for Redhat will yell.

So put everything is /usr/local/gambas, or /usr/gambas, or somewhere else, but 
please keep the same structure. Otherwise, some things will not work.
