[Gambas-user] Building from source this happens with configure -C

[sbungay]

Linux Mint 19.3 Tricia (Based on UBUNTU Bionic)
Kernel: 5.4.0-122-generic
GNOME 3.28.2

I've applied the package dependency list for Ubuntu Bionic (18.04). No 
problem there.

On running ./configure -C I start to see errors towards the end (or what 
I think is the end).  Then start to see permission denied messages and 
it all goes to he** after that.

It looks like there is a permissions issue, but the ./configure -C is 
being run as me (not as root and not using sudo), in a directory my UID 
and GID have full access to.

P.S. I've also tried using sudo to configure things and get the same 
error. It's as if another GroupID is being used and doesn't have  rights.
