Are you on Suse, Redhat, Conectiva, Mandrake or something else? Having
installed GNAT from source on a redhat system, I can say that was a
lot more difficult than just typing "urpmi gnat" in my current
mandrake system :-)
If there are gnat packages for your distro, I really, really suggest
you use them. Compiling from source doesn't solve dependency
nightmares, it creates them: if you try to install an ada program from
an RPM package now (not that I know of any...sigh) you _will_ get
complaints about missing gnat packages.
