GtkAda 2.2.1 requires the following to compile:

- GNAT 3.15p or GCC >= 3.3 for the Ada portions of GtkAda
- GCC >= 3.3 for the C portions of GtkAda (specifically the gtkextra library)
- GTK+ < 2.4 (i.e. it won't work with 2.4, but will work with 2.0 or 2.2)

Work is under way to support GTK+ 2.4, but no date has been set.  In fact
there has been a discussion on this topic just today on the GtkAda mailing
list at

http://lists.act-europe.fr/mailman/listinfo/gtkada

If you use GNAT 3.15p, then you need to specify "gcc" instead of "gnatgcc"
as the C compiler.  I don't remember off the top of my head how this is done,
but it is quite simple.  If you want to program in Ada, I suggest you use
Debian anyway :)
