<p>There is no problem here. When you asked pacman to install
gambas, it found that your install needed to be updated and so
started to do a full system update. System updates occur about
once a month and are generally ~300mb in download size. However,
a recent update exceeded 1gb, so I'm not surprised that your
system needed a 1.2gb download. BTW, there a often smaller
updates between system updates, usually for individual packages
like Firefox, Chromium, Thunderbird etc</p>
<p>I'd recommend updating your system before installing Gambas. <br>
</p>
<p>Step 1(optional): Reset your mirrorlist so that the fastest
download servers come first in the list.<br>
</p>
<p>sudo pacman-mirrors</p>
<p>This gives you a mirrorlist containing all manjaro mirrors,
ordered by speed. You can limit that list to specific countries
or region.</p>
<p>pacman-mirrors --country-list <br>
</p>
<p>sudo pacman-mirrors --country Germany,France,Austria</p>
<p>Step 2: Run a system update.</p>
<p>sudo pacman -Syyu</p>
<p>If you skipped updating your mirrorlist, you can use:</p>
<p>sudo pacman -Syu</p>
<p>Step 3: Install Gambas</p>
<p>sudo pacman -S gambas3</p>
<p>Hope this helps.<br>
</p>

install went smoothly until it didn't. Took longer than
expected too.<br>
<br>
First, perhaps a bad sign, the download server was down for
maintenance, so I waited a bit. (After midnight I can
download without data metering.) It came back, so I
downloaded the iso. Took a while, I'm on satellite internet.
Copy iso to usb drive, then to locol server. My old trusty
iso installer failed with the newer Manjaro. Found an
alternative one, USB ready.<br>
<br>
Booted from USB. Worked fine, played around, went for
install. Went smoothly. Reboot from install. Worked fine.
Did some settings. Looked at some photos to set the
background. Used the "Set as background" option on the image
viewer, nothing. There's a glitch, another bad sign?<br>
<br>
So, I set the background with the settings and do a web
search. Yep, that option doesn't work in Manjaro. Not a big
deal.<br>
<br>
Install Gambas by going to command line and "sudo pacman -S
gambas3" per the wiki:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/install/archlinux"
rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank"

<br>
A bunch of stuff scrolls by. I start Gambas, it works, I
close it. I go to copy some files from my other partition to
work with. Try to start Gambas, nothing. Try to unintall,
reinstall, some other stuff, don't remember it was really
late. Go to bed.<br>
<br>
This morning, lacking some sleep, I try again. Still doesn't
work. Go to the command line:<br>
<br>
gambas3.gambas<br>
<br>
Get a message something like GLIBC29.0 is required by gbx ....<br>
<br>
Okay, research the issue. Pretty common, but none of the
fixes work. Okay, fresh image, yet not up to date? Another
bad sign?<br>
<br>
Fine, at this point I am ready to give up on Manjaro and try
Mint Xcfe. This means another large download, so I'll have to
wait till tonight. In the meanwhile, I do a fresh re-install
of Manjaro.<br>
<br>
This time I try to install Gambas using the Add/Remove
Packages option.<br>
<br>
I find it (Gambas3-IDE), mark for installation, and get a pop
up that says this:<br>
<br>
Warning: dependency cycle detected:<br>
Warning: bashrc-manjaro will be installed before its bash
dependency<br>
Warning: dependency cycle detected:<br>
Warning: harfbuzz will be installed before its freetype2
dependency<br>
Warning: dependency cycle detected:<br>
Warning: libglvnd will be installed before its mesa dependency<br>

lib32-krb5 dependency<br>
Warning: dependency cycle detected:<br>
Warning: lib32-libglvnd will be installed before its
lib32-mesa dependency<br>
<br>
Okay, hit the [close], then press [Apply] anyway. It comes up
with a list of packages to remove, and those to install, and
the download will be 1.2G.<br>
<br>
That doesn't make sense. So, I cancel, and here I sit.<br>
<br>
Any ArchLinux/Manjaro users out there that can tell me what to
do next?<br>
<br>
Yes, the Mint Xcfe option is still on the table.<br>
