The process is amazingly problematic under HPUX, and without root access, becomes even more of a challenge. Because both of these compilers are still based upon GCC 2.8.1, they and the code the generate cannot link against shared libraries under HPUX. We'll have to stay tuned for the new crop of GCC 3.x compilers for that. ;-) I have created a PDF document that describes in detail how to get past all of those build problems, without the need for root access. The document is available on my website (below). I also have binary distributions for GNAT-3.14p and 3.15p available to share, but I don't have enough space on my website to host them there (they are about 16MB each). These install under /opt/gnu/gnat-3.14p (or 3.15p), but with the help of environment variables can be installed anywhere else (including your home directory). Email me if you want them, and have a ftp site for me to upload them to. They are too large to email. I would also like to contribute these to the ftp.cs.nyu.edu ftp site, but I did not see any documentation on who I should contact. If someone can point me to the correct party, I'll see if I can make them available there. For the PDF document, see my website (Click on the Software 'n Tools picture). Warren. -- Warren W.
