Well, yes and no. To run a gambas executable you only need the gambas 
runtime - basically /usr/bin/gbr2 , and support files in /usr/lib and 
/usr/share. On a Debian system the package is named "gambas2-runtime"; 
you should also install every component used by the application: they 
are named "gambas2-gb-xxx"; for example, "gambas2-gb-gtk" and so on.

If you want to install the minimum required to run your application, do 
so. If you also install gambas2-dev, you also have the compiler; if you 
install gambas2-doc, you add the documentation (32 Mb); if you install 
gambas2-ide you also have the IDE. If you install the "gambas2" package, 
you get everything. So a shortcut culd be to select "gambas2" for 
install, and then unselect the docs, the compiler and the IDE.

This in a Debian system - don't know about other OSes, or when installed 
from sources.
