[Gambas-user] Install from Ubuntu repo - several issues

[Dimitris Anogiatis]

Dave,

The examples stored are in a folder with different permissions.
You need to save the example you're trying to a different location, ie to
your home directory.

After you do that the example will compile and run properly.

I hope this helps

Dimitris
