I also cannot get this to work.

When the library is added via the IDE menu, its name is "gambasbook_de/myLibrary" (note the capital "L"; though correcting that
in the code does not help).

I've tried as many path combinations I could think of including specifying a runtime library search path with relative paths and
also with just the name, "gambasbook_de/myLibrary". No luck.

I did notice that when the filename part of the path is "myLibrary:0.0.gambas", the error message states that it cannot load
component "myLibrary:0.0". If I specify the filename as "myLibrary:0.0", then the error message says it can't load component
"myLibrary:0". With a dot appended to the filename, ie. "myLibrary:0.0.gambas.", then it cannot load component
"myLibrary:0.0.gambas". Apparently, the trailing filename extension is being blindly stripped -- whatever import that may have.
