I happen to have ubuntu 12.10.

Trying to install gambas2 with tar.bz2 file. I extracted it on my desktop in a folder called gambas. Looked into the INSTALL file and said to use
./configure
make
sudo make install

But it keeps telling me: no such file or directory.

Terminal:

tomassio@tomassio-VGN-NS21Z-S:~/Desktop/gambas$ dir
