Linux is still not quite as easy to use as Mac :-(. Multiple gcc are not usually available on Linux. > Or, isn't there an rpm option to install in separate > installation roots? Yes there is. The problem is the search path for DLLs. The path of an DLL is hard-coded into the executable. There is also an additional search which can be set in /etc/ld.so.conf.d when the DLL is not found at the "usual" place. But that is all manual extra installation and can be quite tricky - nothing I would want dump on an unwary beginner of Ada.
