"Invalid Prefix in selected component X" Error

"Invalid Prefix in selected component X" Error

[markp]

I am getting this error and my code seems to be pretty straightforward.
I have a package called "X" that has a function that returns a boolean.
>From another package, I have a line similar to :

Temp_Boolean := X.Procedure_A(Y => 5);

The error shows up on this line. I can call procedures from the package
with no problems.

X is not a package, maybe you forgot the "with X;" or you have a
variable
named X that hides the package.

In the package where you are having this problem, is there a "with" 
clause for package X?

Yes, I do have a with for the package X.

What is the error message trying to say?

Does this package declare another entity named X?

Try finding "selected_component" (with underscore) in the RM.

The error message is referring to this Ada language term. The message
might some day say something that can more easily be understood
if you don't know this. There has been a discussion on this on
the GCC mailing list.

No, there is no other entity called "x". I will lookup
"selected_component" in the RM.

Ok, found the problem. I did have another entitiy called X buried in
the code. Thanks for all of your help!
