Why would you want to install Gambas 3.8 and not 3.13 or 3.12? That's
way too old ... the current Ubuntu hat 3.12 in it's packages.

Installation of itself or any program on your Linux computer is not
Gambas' job. It's the task of your operating system. There are lots of
distributions which do that task in their own way, for instance Suse,
Redhat, Debian, Arch and so on.

You use Ubuntu which is a Debian child, so the program-suite which does
that task is *Apt*.

There are some programs in Ubuntu which give you knobs and buttons to
click on for that. First of all is the Ubuntu Software Center.

But they all use and play with Apt:

As you decided to install a more recent version of Gambas via Launchpad
you have overridden the standard way of your distribution. More recent
versions bring always the risk of newer bugs with them.

Maybe you should revert that first.

Alles Gute
