I suggest removing all your Gambas installation and installing the 
development version from the daily ppa.

The "gb.gui.qt: error: cannot load component 'gb.qt5'" error message 
means at least that you do run the stable version.

You can also try to run:

$ gbx3 -e 'Component.Load("gb.qt5")'

You should get a more explicit error message.
