But what does not work? Do you get errors, does nothing happen at all?
Does it compile but not install? You did not attach the output4.txt which
ought to contain all that information.

And another observation: "make install" must be executed as root, which is
usually done by issuing "sudo make install" or "su make install". If you
weren't root, it's no wonder Gambas didn't install, even though compilation
was successful.

If you executed the whole above chain as root and it didn't work either,
attach the output file you created. Also note that compiling as root isn't
necessary and doing unnecessary things as root is dangerous by default.

Tobi
