Maybe you could do that:

1) Just install the 'gambas3-runtime' package on a clear system, to see 
if zypper installs some development package.

2) Then if no development package is installed, then they have trigerred 
by some Gambas component packages depending on a specific library. They 
should be installed one by one until the culprits are found!
