[Gambas-user] Fedora 17 - Gambas3-Gb-Gui Won't Install

[Pryor, Mike]

I found out that gb.gui was not installed when I tried to run 'rpm ql gambas3-gb.gui'.
However, there appears to be a gb.gui component in the component tab. Interesting
mystery here.  The tab does not indicate the version of the component.  I wonder
whether the Fedora package manager, 'spot', included the gb.gui components in
another package.

How did you notice that the package is missing?
Did you check this in the Gambas IDE?
In a Gambas project open menu Project -> Properties and go to tab
components -> see if gb.gui is there and not grayed out.

If so, gb.gui is installed on your system.

I did notice in YumExtender when searching for Gambas3 packages that
gb.gui package was in black font and version 3.0.0, all the others in
green font version 3.4.1.
This seems a bit odd to be, but then again, my Gambas 4.3.1 is working
and not complaining.

I attached some screenshots so you can compare it with your own
situation. Screenshots where taken on a Fedora 17 with LXDE desktop.
