Hi Benoît, I've been digging a little bit in this error. I have detected
it since a month ago and it applies to (at least) all 1.9.x versions
since 1.9.19. I haven't tested it in previous versions. The error has
raised since a Debian unstable packages upgrade. What I've seen is that:

- gb.qt.kde.html needs the execution of preload(argv, "libqt-mt.so.3
libkdecore.so.4") as you've written in the gbi.c code. I think this
didn't apply in previous version of Debian packages, and that could
explain why the error didn't raise before.
- in the preload function of gbi.c you have : 
      execv("/usr/bin/gbi" GAMBAS_VERSION_STRING, argv);
and this doesn't work if you are installing gambas in a different path
of /usr, as /usr/local or  when compiling packages in debian, in a
temporary directory.

So, the bug seems to be due to the hardcoded path "/usr/bin/gbi" in the
preload function of gbi.c

Please, tell me if I'm wrong or if you find a fast workaround to avoid
this to be able to build new gambas packages for this release.

Regards.
