[Gambas-user] I need help getting gambas running

[Werner]

It depends on what you want to do, contributing to the development of 
Gambas or just use it?

Version 1.9.xx is a hard hat area so if you are new it might be a good 
idea to start with a stable version. I assume you are new.

You mention a DVD. Presumably that would be the SuSE DVD. For the second 
time, the Gambas rpm in the SuSE distribution is NO GOOD. An explanation 
of the reason why can be found in the archive of this mailing list.

I suggest to use the 1.0.11 which you can find at the link mentioned 
below and try this stable version first.
