Thank you very much for the contribution.

I open the various projects on your distribution, but I got error messages.

It looks like GtkAda is not properly installed.

I tried to install GtkAda using the following tutorial:

Installation of the library XAdaLib
Dowload the following file on the desktop of the Mac : xadalib-gpl-2014-x11-x86_64-apple-darwin13.2.0-bin.tgz, from Source Forge "http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuada/files/ GNAT_GPL%20Mac%20OS%20X/2014-mavericks".
Launch terminal as superuser et type the following commands:
$ instbase=/usr/local # ou tout autre répertoire
$ mkdir -p $instbase
$ cd $instbase
$ tar xzf ~/Desktop/xadalib-gpl-2014-x11-x86_64-apple-darwin13.2.0-bin.tar
GTK+, GTKAda, GNATColl, Florist, Glade, AdaCurses et AICWL are installed in the directory : $instbase/xadalib-2014

I also type the following commands in Quartz :
$ instxada=$instbase/xadalib-2014
$ echo 'PATH=$instxada/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.profile
$ echo 'PATH=$instxada/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
$ echo 'export MANPATH=$instxada/man:$MANPATH' >> ~/.profile
$ echo 'export MANPATH=$instxada/man:$MANPATH' >> ~/.bashrc
$ echo 'export MANPATH=$instxada/share/man:$MANPATH' >> ~/.profile
$ echo 'export MANPATH=$instxada/share/man:$MANPATH' >> ~/.bashrc
$ echo 'export GPR_PROJECT_PATH=$instxada/lib/gnat:$GPR_PROJECT_PATH' >> ~/.profile
$ echo 'export GPR_PROJECT_PATH=$instxada/lib/gnat:$GPR_PROJECT_PATH' >> ~/.bashrc

However, it does not look that my installation of GtkAda is successful and though I have spent numerous hours trying all possibilities and also trying to find the solution through google, nothing has worked so far...

My last resort is to come to ask the help of the newsgroup.
