However it has been observed that this means on can only install one gnat at a time. We could - just like GNAT/Pro on Windows - install each GNAT into a separate directory. ---- Option 1 (leave as is) /opt/gnat Option 2 (just the types): /opt/gnat/gpl /opt/gnat/gcc Disadvantage: you can still only configure one system in /etc/profile.d and /etc/ld.so.conf.d. Option 3 (inc. version); /opt/gnat/gpl/2005 /opt/gnat/gcc/3.4.5 /opt/gnat/gcc/4.0.2 Disadvantage: What should "rpm --upgrade" do? Probably not what half the users would expect. ----- Personally I think option 2 might be a good alternative. I am very unsure about option 3 as it is totally against the rpm concept and might therefore lead to all sorts of problems.
