Including all the dependencies would be very big, it would also be quite hard to set up as the gambas executable would need to load the shared libraries from the same directory as the .tar.gz instead of the standard linux location (/usr/lib/) All the modern linux distros include a system for automatically resolving and loading complex dependencies, so the only real solution is a packaging for the various distros. https://launchpad.net/~ihaywood3/+archive/gambas3 contains ubuntu packages which work on debian testing and probably most other .deb based distros (Linux Mint, Mepis, etc) I update about once a fortnight or so from svn, but if someone wants to take over and extend to use some nightly autobuild system that would be good.
