I got the problems after switching from SuSE to Kubuntu.
I had to drop SuSE while the support for 9.2 was broken/dropped on opensuse.
Kubuntu works nice but as some people found not out of box for gambas :(

Getting the source with svn or download is not direct the problem.
What is difficult is what developer packages exactly are need.
For i.e. curl it is easy to look for something as xxx-curl-dev.xxx
For pdf you do try something as pdf-dev but it must be poppler-dev.
Any note about the first dependend -dev and place where to find if not
in the distribution could help many people.

Because it is now long time ago I did try I can't remember exact what did not
work. As far I remember the ./configure was OK but told me it could not fine
mysql despite it did exists and the make for the remainder in enabled state
returned some errors about missing -dev parts for packages that were OK????

I did get already a long list as above for apt-get and that was solving a lot.
The list here is however a lot bigger.

These for instance are new for me. I can't place a link why (gnome esd support?)
Look a bit more and one of the sdl does start me to think there was also a problem
of missing something.

I do believe the compile is not the difficult part:
	get the source
	unpack it
	./configure -C
	make
	make install

The nasty part is when there are errors, how to solve them.
The missing developer files and for what name to look.
And here maybe there are difference in naming by distributions.

P.S.
For the gb.pdf we need the libpoppler-dev, and it is this as basic need
If libpoppler-dev uses as i.e. libc6-dev etc is nice to know but
I wish at least the basic libpoppler-dev mentioned.
A guide how to read the developer file to find the other in needed.
I can imagine a part of it but really new people starting, linux, 
C and gambas can have many problems with it.

We all are not so good as Benoit :(
