You have some libraries missing, that's all.

Download all the RPM's for 0.90 or 0.91 from the 9.1/i586 
subdirectory, stick them in their own directory and go "urpmi *" 
on them.  That will not only install the RPM's but also go out 
and get anything you're missing.

Soon Mandrake will have a mechanism to let you add download 
sources (like my RPM repository) just by clicking on a link, and 
better yet, a mechanism to let you install a bunch of RPM's from 
a website all at once, so in the future you should be able to 
get the latest Gambas in a few clicks rather than jumping 
through these hoops (which are still a bit easier to deal with 
than building from source.)
