Dear Moderator:
I have installed Suse 12.2 mainly because I want to run gambas on 
Linux as an alternative to VB6 on Win2K in a modest embedded 
system.  I'm a newbie at Linux (and gambas) but used zypper to 
(apparently successfully) install gambas3 from 
/munix9:/gambas/openSUSE_12.2/.  However I got the message "could not 
install gambas3-examples gambas3-gb-net-curl" because "nothing 
provides gambas3-net = 3.2.1 needed by gambas3-examples 
gambas3-gb-net-curl-3.21-6-21.i586"   Now, as a newbie I'm pretty 
interested in examples in general, so Question 1 is whether or not I 
should concern myself about that and Question 2 is how would I go 
about remedying that omission.  I take it gambas3-net = 3.2.1 is some 
sort of dependency - how widely needed I am unsure.  A quick google 
search suggests that gambas3-gb-net-curl (or at least one version) is 
a component package for "net-curl" - is part of a Fedora package for 
X86 64 machines.  I am 32 bit (i586) at this stage, so maybe I can 
ignore the whole bit - and I don't need my gambas project to work 
on/with the net or with URLs, which I gather is what cURL refers 
to.  Helpful comments?
