Hmmm... checkinstall is supposed to simulate the install process to create the 
install package, without actually installing anything. That's why I had to 
install Gambas normally first with make install, otherwise checkinstall 
wouldn't work later (no Gambas compiler available otherwise). What is the 
purpose of lib.gb.so? Gambas seems to run without it. There are Gambas 
Slackware (VL is Slackware based) Packages available on 
www.linuxpackages.net, I wonder how they did it? Manually without 
checkinstall?
