[Gambas-user] Switching from 3.6.2 to 3.8.0 failed

[Jussi Lahtinen]

I don't know, these are what comes into my mind... maybe next time you
could run these to make sure uninstalling was complete (assuming no custom
install paths):

sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/gbx3 /usr/local/bin/gbc3 /usr/local/bin/gba3
/usr/local/bin/gbi3 /usr/local/bin/gbs3
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/gambas3
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/share/gambas3
sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/gambas3
sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/gambas3.gambas

sudo rm -f /usr/bin/gbx3 /usr/bin/gbc3 /usr/bin/gba3 /usr/bin/gbi3
/usr/local/bin/gbs3
sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/gambas3
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/gambas3
sudo rm -f /usr/bin/gambas3
sudo rm -f /usr/bin/gambas3.gambas


Also maybe there is incompatibility between the bytecodes generated by 3.6
and 3.8. So can you try to recompile the program with 3.8?

I personally use same method of updating Gambas and I haven't run into any
problems (I'm on Linux Mint). The commands above are from my
compile&install script.
