gnatbind error with gtk after upgrade to GNAT GPL 2009

[Jack Mitchell]

Having upgraded (uninstall GNAT GPL 2008, then installed GNAT GPL 2009), 
a project which used to build quite happily now gives the following when 
I build from the project file :-

gnatbind -E -I- -x E:\Programming\FloorPlan\obj\floorplan.ali
error: "gtk.ali" not found, "gtk.ads" must be compiled
error: "gtk-box.ali" not found, "gtk-box.adb" must be compiled
gnatmake: *** bind failed.

What has I missed in the install / reinstall ?


N.B. I am learning by building out from the hello2 example in gtk 
tutorials, FloorPlan mentioned above is basically hello2 plus a simple 
debug package..

I can't say in detail, but I always install versions of GNAT in
different directories:

c:/Apps/GNAT_GPL_2008
c:/Apps/GNAT_GPL_2009

and I don't uninstall the old one until I'm sure everything works with
the new one.

That way, if "uninstall" doesn't really work, just delete the directory.

Yes that would have been better, too late now
I solved this very late last night by uninstall gtkada, rebooting, 
deleting the c:\gtkada subdirectory then reinstalling - the good sign is 
when the install ends with a command window slowly counting upto 250 
steps and then rapidly counting up again.
