Unfortunately this didn't work... thinking that I may have done
something completely wrong, I reformatted and reinstalled Linux.

From a fresh copy, I logged in as root (the only account) and did the
following:

cd /tmp
rpm -i gnat-3_10p-1_i386.rpm
cd /usr/bin
ln -s /usr/local/gnat/bin/gnatmake gnatmake

(I assume I need to link gnatmake from the /usr/bin directory so that
I may run gnatmake from any directory... as I've said, I'm new to
Linux.  I also believe I can only install .rpm or link files using the
root account....?).

From there, I logged out and made another account.

I then logged in with this new account ("gareth").
Inside the /gareth directory, I did the following:

xedit .bash_profile &

And I then added the following lines to the .bash_profile file:

# For the GNU Ada compiler
GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=/usr/local/gnat/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.7.2.1/
export GCC_EXEC_PREFIX
ADA_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/gnat/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.7.2.1/adainclude
export ADA_INCLUDE_PATH
ADA_OBJECTS_PATH=/usr/local/gnat/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.7.2.1/adalib
export ADA_OBJECTS_PATH
LD_RUN_PATH=/usr/local/gnat/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.7.2.1/adalib
export LD_RUN_PATH
C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/gnat/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.7.2.1/include
export C_INCLUDE_PATH

I then logged out and logged back in with the "gareth" account...

Then:

cd /usr/local/gnat/examples

and then, typing "make" gives the exact same error message:

====
[gareth@localhost examples]# make
gnatmake hello -cargs -O2
gcc -c -O2 hello.adb
gcc: hello.adb: linker input file unused since linking not done
gnatmake: "hello.ali" WARNING file not found after compile
./hello < hello.rsp
/bin/sh: ./hello: No such file or directory
make: *** [hello] Error 126
[gareth@localhost examples]# 
====

Anything that I compile produces a line of:

gcc: file.adb: linker input file unused since linking not done



If anyone has recently installed the gnat-3_10p-1_i386.rpm file, could
they please point me in the right direction as to what I'm doing
wrong.....


Many, many thanks...
