I'm running Mac OSX 10.6. I've downloaded GNAT from www.libre.com, but
that simply produced a folder whose 'bin' subfolder contains a lot of
programs - when I typed "gnat make "hello.adb" in Terminal, it said
that gnat was not recognized as a command. So, I re-installed gcc, and
now I have gcc version 4.2.1. But when I type in "gcc "hello.adb", I
get an error: Ada compiler is not intstalled on this system. I've
fiddled around a little it; now when I type in "gnat" in Terminal, it
lists  a bunch of gnat commands I can use, but I still can't get Ada
files to compile. I have successfully added Ada to my PATH (I think),
by using the command, "export PATH=/usr/local/ada-4.2/bin:$PATH" in
Terminal. Now, when I type in "env" in Terminal, it shows that Ada 4.2
is on my PATH - but GNAT and gcc still don't work! What should I do?
Thanks in advance for your help!
