You can uninstall a software from source package by doing "make uninstall", 
but it is not necessary, nor advisable (GNU guys dixit).

Just compile the new package, and the "make install" command will reinstall 
the software on top of the other.

This is not a problem because all gambas files are stored on one sole 
directory (/opt/gambas by default), and because there is no registry on Unix 
like who you know.

If you prefer, you can "rm -rf /opt/gambas" before reinstalling.
