I don't know, these are what comes into my mind... maybe next time you could run these to make sure uninstalling was complete (assuming no custom install paths):
sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/gbx3 /usr/local/bin/gbc3 /usr/local/bin/gba3 /usr/local/bin/gbi3 /usr/local/bin/gbs3 sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/gambas3 sudo rm -rf /usr/local/share/gambas3 sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/gambas3 sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/gambas3.gambas sudo rm -f /usr/bin/gbx3 /usr/bin/gbc3 /usr/bin/gba3 /usr/bin/gbi3 /usr/local/bin/gbs3 sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/gambas3 sudo rm -rf /usr/share/gambas3 sudo rm -f /usr/bin/gambas3 sudo rm -f /usr/bin/gambas3.gambas Also maybe there is incompatibility between the bytecodes generated by 3.6 and 3.8. So can you try to recompile the program with 3.8? I personally use same method of updating Gambas and I haven't run into any problems (I'm on Linux Mint). The commands above are from my compile&install script.
