the RPM binary package generated by the IDE relies on another package named 
"gambas". The "gambas" package is the package that include all the necessary 
stuff to run any gambas application. 

Rob Kudla regularly makes this package for the Mandrake, until it is officialy 
included in it. A Debian user makes it for the Debian, and SuSE makes its own 
too. I don't know for the other distributions.

For example, on a Mandrake, when gambas will be included in the main or 
contrib repository, installing a package generated by the IDE will 
automatically download and install gambas if needed.

But all thay thing does not work if you have compiled gambas from the source, 
because RPM does not see it. If you are in this case, you must install the 
package generated by the IDE by asking RPM to ignore the dependencies.
