I have updated the packages to the latest svn (3301), and now they are compiled
for karmic, lucid, and maverick, the three most recent Ubuntu releases.

For Linux Mint, I'd try with the Ubuntu Maverick release, so add the
following to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ihaywood3/gambas3/ubuntu maverick main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ihaywood3/gambas3/ubuntu maverick main

then enter

 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install gambas3

and hopefully gambas should be installed!
