[Gambas-user] Advice/Help appreciated: Gambas install on WSL Ubuntu 20.04

Good morning altogether,

i am new to programming in Gambas BASIC - though a little experience in
vb.net, vba and lazarus / freepascal is there ;)

Due to work my main computer has to have windows installed but i thought it
would be nice to have a linux-system on WSL with ubuntu aside. For
developing purposes I wanted to install gambas 3.15.2 from the ubuntu ppa.
That worked to some extent. After install the command gambas3 only delivers
an error message: gb.gui.qt: error: cannot load component 'gb.qt5'

An dpkg --get-selections | grep gambas3 shows:

I don't understand why it doesn't work - the desktop environment comes up
and works on the x-server on windows very well.
On my mobile workplace an install from ppa on KDE Neon worked like a charm.

Maybe someone can point to a workaround or a solution to this? Thanks in
advance for your help.

Yours sincerly,

Boris Breuer
