Thanks for the release. Someone advised me not to have GNAT GPL under linux=
 but to have the Debian testing packages instead. I now have the linux mint=
 debian edition. If I put the line:

deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main

in the /etc/apt/sources.list, I will get on issuing

apt-get install gnat

the versions of gnat 4.6.3, gps 5.0.6 and libgtkada 2.24.1 among other file=
s.

Questions:

1. One question is that whether your latest 20120712 package will work with=
 gnat 4.6.3. Will the package use the inbuilt LAPACK and BLAS inside GNAT?

2. If I instead stick to your earlier release of the math extension package=
 since I have gnat 4.6.3, then things should run smoothly. Is that true?

3. I am installing LAPACK liblapack3gf and BLAS libatlas3gf-base as you are=
 aware. Will this separate installation of LAPACK and BLAS get into conflic=
ts with the ones in GNAT when running your math extension package? Any adju=
stments in the path that I need to make?

Thanks.
