So you installed it from sources.

According to your error message, I think you have to recompile and reinstall 
gambas, because apparently the libmysqlclient shared library was upgraded to a 
new version.

On Linux, an executable stores the shared libraries it needs with their 
version. Note that is a "compatibility" version, not necessarily the 
development version number of the library. For example, the KDE 4 core shared 
library is "libkdecore.so.5"!

When you upgrade a distribution, the shared libraries are upgraded too, but 
the old versions are not kept, they are removed.

So the gambas interpreter that was linked with old shared libraries do not 
find them anymore! By recompiling it, you will fix the problem.

Of course, it could happen that the new shared library is so incompatible, 
that gambas will not compile anymore. But then it is my problem, and I will 
fix it for sure!
