I have run the ./configure and that appears to have gone ok. I believe I now need to run Make and/or Make Install, however I think I am doing something wrong.... probably in the way I have typed the command but it does not seem to do anything. Should I be typing these in from within the gambas folder, I have tried both normal and as root, or should I be doing this thru a 'Run" command??, again no success but could be the formatting of the command that I have wrong.
thanks Alan
