Hi!

I installed the 'gambas-3.10.0' from the overlay 'jorgicio' (http://data.gpo.zugaina.org/jorgicio/dev-lang/gambas/)
And I can't run it. In /usr/bin/gambas3 there is a link to 'gambas3.gambas' and 'gambas3.gambas' not found.
Maybe somebody already fix it?

I found https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1046778-start-0.html. It
may or may not be what you are looking for, it seems someone
recommends installing from source and avoiding the overlay. Typically
for small projects this is decent advice. Most overlays are not very
high quality, mainly due to the sole maintainer finding other things
to do.

If you can figure out what the executable name is supposed to be, you
can find where it is with `find` or `locate`. You may have to build it
from source in your $HOME to figure out what it's called.

I haven't tried to install but there are several things I noticed.

There are two sets of ebuilds for the same program.  "dev-lang/gambas"
which is the version you tried, and "dev-util/gambas" which seems to be
slightly less up to date but from a better class of repositories (Funtoo
is a distro in and of itself).

I'd suggest downloading the most recent ebuild from various repositories
and comparing them  One of the older versions might work, and you'd just
have to set up your own local overlay to pull in the latest 3.10.0 version.
