I can try :-)

When the gambas package is installed from a local binary with `dpkg -i`, it cannot be configured because the dependencies need 
to be resolved by executing `apt install -f`.

But, `apt install -f` cannot do what it needs unless it can pull the required dependencies from the appropriate repository.

So, before executing the above, the repo needs to be added and updated. I believe Mint 22 is based on Ubuntu 24.04. In the 
instructions on the download page for "Add repository and install manually", you will find:
echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/gambas:/master/xUbuntu_24.04/ /' | sudo tee 
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:gambas:master.list
curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:gambas:master/xUbuntu_24.04/Release.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee 
/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_gambas_master.gpg > /dev/null
sudo apt update

After you execute those instructions, `apt install -f` should work.
