[Gambas-user] Gambas3 compilation problem

[Jussi Lahtinen]

Little correction to phase 1, version was 2.7 (from Ubuntu
repository), and version 2.9 was removed manually.
But that seems not to make any difference..? All version were removed
at phase 1.

BTW maybe README section should link to http://gambasdoc.org/help/install ?
