If you were double clicking on the executable from Konqueror, I 
think there is a bug in Konqueror that prevents Gambas 
executables from running.  When it says "open with" you can put 
in "/usr/bin/gbx -x" and it should run, but it won't remember 
that you did that the next time you double click.  In fact, 
under KDE 3.2 and Mandrake 10.1, after working that first time 
it doesn't seem to ever work again (it seems to strip off the -x 
for subsequent runs.)

I hope that there is a way to make Gambas executables be ELF 
executables for Gambas 2.0.  Even if the #!/usr/bin/gbx -x is 
replaced by a stub that merely invokes gbx -x, that would solve 
a lot of problems (another problem is that you can't write a 
gambas program to subsequently be used as a script interpreter 
as things stand now, because a script interpreter can't be a 
script itself.)
