As with any packages with mutual dependencies, either you need to 
specify them both on the command line:

rpm -Uvh gambas*.rpm libgambas*.rpm
(or just rpm -Uvh *gambas*.rpm)

Or since you're using Mandrake, use urpmi to the same effect:

urpmi *gambas*.rpm

Or easiest of all, set up a download source for my Mandrake 9.1 
RPM's and just use the automatic dependency handling:

urpmi.addmedia kudla http://www.kudla.org/rpm/9.1/i586 with 
hdlist.cz

urpmi gambas-gui-0.84a

(After you've run the urpmi.addmedia command, you can also 
install gambas or any of my other RPM's from Mandrake's own 
software manager.)

Red Hat did a real disservice to the world by not building auto 
dependency handling into RPM in the first place.... I don't know 
how many Mandrake users there are who don't know about urpmi.
