This response means it was successful. And regarding your other question: > Why should I uninstall if I just want to update? The act of "updating" should be: uninstalling, compiling anew and installing. You should *not* just pull the changes, compile and overwrite your existing installation. I'm pretty sure I have seen bug reports on this list that were later determined to be caused by not uninstalling Gambas prior to installing a new version. Sometimes internals change that make the newer Gambas incompatible with the older one on your system. Now what happens when you overwrite your old Gambas with the new one, but due to circumstances not all old files are replaced by new ones, so the old, incompatible parts of Gambas keep lying around? There will be usually funny errors about incorrect types or missing symbols, e.g. this one [1], or Gambas may straight up crash. I shouldn't say this but I myself rarely uninstall before updating, because in >= 98% of times it works and if it doesn't work I remember how to fix it.
