I installed GPL 2014 on Mavericks OS X 10.9.2 even though the AdaCore site said that it is intended for Mountain Lion but things seem to be working as expected. The compiler works and GPS seems to work as well as it ever did including the incredible violence it does to the Mac interface which is why I don't use it. Didn't Felix have a partial fix for GTK apps so that at least we could copy and paste normally?
