Well, I'm a normal user, I went to /tmp and did a "touch foo" at the
cli, which worked properly, creating file "foo". There were other gambas
directories with the <uid> appended to them, perhaps created when 3.5.3
was originally install from the fedora repo? Anyway, gambas.0 and
gambas.1000 (root and me, respectively), were present in /tmp, but no
"gambas" sans <uid>, which is what it seems to have wanted. Do a mkdir
gambas (no .<uid> extension on the name) and Bob's your uncle, it seems
to work.
At the moment I'm doing a configure make install of the latest
development version to try to cure another problem with list-boxes
(mentioned in an previous post). Fingers (and eyes) crossed! :)
