I've posted about this before. This is a slightly different viewpoint.
I'm writing about a Mac G5 running OS X 10.5.8.

After recovering from a disk crash, I can no longer compile using
gnatmake. The process is unable to locate the assembler ("as"). During
the recovery, I had a lot of problems with file permissions. I suspect
that the assembler might be in a folder/directory for which I don't have
proper access. If I know where to look, I can see if it's there or not.

I have a disk image of the GNAT installer for OS X 10.4. (The disk that
crashed was on a G4 running OS X 10.4.11,) I've tried reinstalling with
no change in behavior. If I need to get the installer of OS X 10.5, I
don't know where to find it.
