But you did not tell us which things were in your autoexec. I would be
willing to bet that you didn't set up the environment variable. The
message is telling you that the library file for the predefined libraries
could not be found.

This is not the problem. It is somewhere in your setup.

They are busy working on GNAT these days and don't respond much to
Ada/Ed e-mail.

Check your documentation and make sure your setup is OK. Also, if you
copied Ada/Ed from a colleague, make sure you got all the files. The
directory containing the Ada/Ed executables should also contain 
predef.axq
predef.lib
predef.trc

This is the only Ada system available by ftp. Let me know by e-mail if
this is helpful.
