Thanks Benoît,

I will install the latest revision this evening when I am home and get

P.S. On my system all Gambas applications are installed with .gambas
extension (no matter if library or normal application and it has always
been that way). It is on the openSuSe that .gambas extensions are
missing for both Gambas applications and Gambas libraries.
