Using GNAT at SuSE 6.3

Using GNAT at SuSE 6.3

[Hans N. Beck]

Hello

I'm using SuSE Linux 6.3, which comes with gcc 2.7.2.3  and
egcs 2.91.66. I want to use gnat 3.11p pc linux (or 3.10p),
which
failed until now. Must I rebuild gnat with egcs ? Or must I
get a
gcc 2.8.1 binary which expects gnat 3.11 ? If the last, what
are the
implications for the libraries (c lib c++ lib etc)?

Thanks

Hans

Same problem here, after installing the gnat-3.12p_glibc2.1-1-8.i386.rpm
downloaded from the site, I can't seem to get it to work anyway... Tips?

I've got RH 6.1 dist.

I do not understand the question. Your previous post says:

 ># rpm -ivh gnat-3.12p_glibc2.1-1-8.i386.rpm
 >package gnat-3.12p-1-8 is already installed
 ># rpm -q gnat-3.12p_glibc2.1-1-8.i386.rpm
 >package gnat-3.12p_glibc2.1-1-8.i386.rpm is not installed

This is what I was refering to. An attempt to install told you the files
were there, a query on the rpm said it was not there. So, if you install
with a "force" it will install it whether or not the rpm database thinks
it is installed. That should fix your database and get the package
installed.

I do not understand the context of the "locate" in your above question.

How can we help you if you don't tell us exactly

  1. What you did
  2. What the result was

Did you read the README on the www.gnuada.org site and follow the steps
described there to install and use the packages?

Sounds like a problem in your RPM database. Try

rpm -ivh --force gnat-3.12p_glibc2.1-1-8.i386.rpm

that should install it.

Hello!

You wrote the package, right?

Well here goes:

]# rpm -ivh gnat-3.12p_glibc2.1-1-8.i386.rpm
package gnat-3.12p-1-8 is already installed
]# rpm -q gnat-3.12p_glibc2.1-1-8.i386.rpm
package gnat-3.12p_glibc2.1-1-8.i386.rpm is not installed

So, no what?

I haven't a clue...

Try `rpm -q gnat-3.12p_glibc2.1'.  You need the development RPM as
well, BTW.

What happens if you compile a small example program with `gnatmake'?

Well, a 'locate' finds it locally... Do I haveto symlink it someplace?

I'd like to have it like at school, y'know

$ gnat myada.adb

Is it the right package?

If anything is wrong, I plead ignorance... ; )

Try 'rpm -q gnat-3.12p_glibc2.1'. I don't think rpm likes the .i386.rpm 
extension when you query the db.

1. For the install option of RPM you have to use the complete
filename of the package as you did. It seems you did that
before, thats why rpm complains...

2. The package name is not the filename! For the query you
   should try "rpm -q gnat-3.12p" (thats the package name).
   You can get the package name from the package file by
   using "rpm -q -p gnat-3.12p_glibc2.1-1-8.i386.rpm -i"

3. With that you just installed the runtime! To get the compiler
   and the development tools, you must at least install the
   package gnat-devel-3.12p_glibc2.1-1-8.i386.rpm

4. After that you can use the command "gnatmake" to build your
   project or "gnatgcc" to compile an individual unit.

5. You may go to the directory /usr/doc/gnat-devel-3.12p/examples
   and type "make". This should compile and run a few examples.
   If that works you have a good chance that everything is setup
   correctly.

the name of the package in this case is gnat-3.12p_glibc2.1-1-8, the bits
after it are to do with the file itself. If you try rpm -q
gnat-3.12p_glibc2.1-1-8 it should just say the name of the package.

Alternatively, try rpm -qa | grep gnat and see what it says.

No because the query was flawed. When you query you need to for the
name of the package, not the filename. Then filename could be
anything.

Getting that one now, thought I had gotten them all installed nicely,
and then got hung up on the "not-installed" part.

It should work without the --force flag. Your query was not correct

He can also try rpm -q -a|grep gnat to
get a somewhat complete listing of his gnat-linux packages.

IMHO the best way to get a list of all installed ALT packages is

rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME} %{DISTRIBUTION}\n" | grep ALT | awk '{print $1;}'
