Remember that the fundamental UNIX/Linux motto: "No news is good news".

Yes!

you should go to the Gambas page which documents how to build it:-
http://gambas.sourceforge.net/compilation.html
and do _exactly_ as it tells you ( cut and paste the commands )
e.g. All the characters in the 'make' and 'make install' commands are lower 
case. 

Note that you should probably be using the 'sudo make install' command instead 
of the 'su -c make install' to install Gambas.
