Varies by distro.  If you're using some source-based one like 
slackware or gentoo, I can't help you.  If you're using a distro 
that makes it deliberately hard to install third party software, 
like RH, SuSE or Lindows, I can't help you.  Hopefully 
maintainers for those distros will make some nice self-contained 
packages like the "gambas-complete" I maintain for mandrake.

But on debian it should be "apt-get install gambas", on fedora it 
should be "yum install gambas", on mandrake it's "urpmi gambas", 
assuming you have a repository with a current version of Gambas 
set up right.  In fact, on Mandrake you should just be able to 
go "urpmi mynewgambasprogram.rpm" if it was generated by the 
gambas IDE, and it should automatically install everything you 
need.

This will get a lot easier as more distros start including 
gambas, of course... years ago it was similarly painful to 
install perl or python.
