Re: Emacs Ada mode 5.0.1 available in Gnu ELPA

Hi,

It's not working for me.

Whit this .emacs file:

<code>
; Emacs package manager
(setq package-archives '(("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
                         ("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/")
                         ("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/")))
(package-initialize)

; Set the default window dimensions
(when window-system (set-frame-size (selected-frame) 121 53))

; Don't wrap the lines, ever!
(setq-default truncate-lines t)

; don't show the startup screen.
(setq inhibit-startup-screen t)

; enable syntax highlighting
(require 'font-lock)

; Give me line/column numbers all the time.
(column-number-mode 1)
(line-number-mode 1)

; Colour themes.
(require 'color-theme)
(eval-after-load "color-theme"
  '(progn
     (color-theme-initialize)
     (color-theme-clarity)))
</code>

I just get the following message when I create a new Ada file:

"File mode specification error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)"

Doing M-x ada-mode gives:

"wrong type argument: stringp, nil"

Enabling "(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.d/elpa/ada-mode-5.0.1/ada-mode.el"))" or "(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "ada-mode"))" also gives the same error.

I'm not an emacs lisper, I tend to cut n paste other's to get mine to work.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Luke.
