hmmm: the doc say's " './configure -C' , 'make' and 'make install' "
But general spoken this is true.

goto to 
http://gambas.sourceforge.net/    <-- select "in menu left" 'Wiki Encyclopaedia' 
http://gambasdoc.org/help         <--  select "Documents" 'HowTo...'
http://gambasdoc.org/help/howto   <-- select "C" 'How To Compile Gambas'

It is a bit puzzle to find it but the 'readme' is a small overview you and I did
ask a few days back. However it shows the binairy libs, not the *-dev packages.

Below the table there is with exclamation symbol a note:
	**And do not forget to install all related development packages!**

For most the names are common but -dev added and version number.
A bad point is there are some distributions changing the original name the 
developer has given to there project.
For other you need the website of the developer team (i.e curl).

Second the developers a defined layout of intall point, documentation and configuration.
(K)Ubuntu has renamed the CUPS default user:group to something else resulting in
CUPS can't open a error_log file due permissions. Also not following 100% debian rules.
SuSE dropt the documentation in /usr/doc/packages/package-name and in the doc are 
links to /usr/doc/package-name, you see what (can) goes wrong.

In very old gambas documentation there was in the past a page with required version
numbers for the libXYZ-dev but I can't find it anymore. :(
This was a problem for me with libcurl-7.1xy in the past. 
The curl component was developed with the last version, not available on SuSE9.1 
at that time. I did compile it myself but the result was incompatible with SuSE9.1-Yast.
Some little configuration differences done by SuSE.

It,s not always easy to do it perfect, and make everyone happy.

My 2 cents,
