But on the bright side I'm now very familiar with ./configure, make, make install and many obscure linux sites. I seem to have spent days watching script files whizzing by and wondering if all those warnings I see for a few milliseconds or so are important! And to cap it off my ubuntu install is now not booting (I'm back in WinXP with a blank Ubuntu screen in the background). Actually I've used apt-get install a few times but it didn't occur to me to ask for gnat-glade. Perhaps its a case of can't see the forest for the trees.
