I did it by 
./configure -C --prefix=/opt/gambas
make
make install

When it was ready I renamed te gambas directory to gambas47 and 
make a symlink /opt/gambas -> /opt/gambas47

As a new version arives remove the symlink

./configure -C --prefix=/opt/gambas
make
make install

and same with but then /opt/gambas48

The nice part is if the new not working or you can put the symlink 
to the old working version.
