I never use installer packages I just copy project folder and recompile.

Does the packager have gambas options set in the requirements? Like require
minimum gambas version, gambas components, etc.
If so try removing those options.

Another option..
Install gambas via pacman, then install all your programs, then update to
autotools gambas after.
