[Gambas-user] Gambas error messages

Did you try to install libqt3-mt?

True, thought --help works with gbx2, gbc2, gbs2, gbs3, gbx3, gbr3 and
gbc3, which are command line programs.

Gambas compiler (gbc) do have verbose option, among many others.
Interpreter doesn't have it, but I have used Gambas about five years
without never running into situation where I wouldn't have error message
(at least) to terminal, if something went wrong.

And with this case,
I suspect that there is something wrong in your system that prevents error
messages to be printed from Gambas.

Normally when Gambas program runs into error it will display error message.
See attached example. It tells what kind of error and where it happened.
How this could be any better?
