My gnat dir is c:\gnat\2009
gnatada is     c:\gnat\2009\GtkAda

except the pango.aliases issue, this has worked out reasonably for me.

I have a small setup.bat that looks like:

set GTKADA=3DC:\GNAT\2009\GTKADA
set ADA_PROJECT_PATH=3D%ADA_PROJECT_PATH%;%GTKADA%\lib\gnat

I am sortof at peace. However, if you want to use gps (I use mostly
emacs and the command line) then your best best is to have gtkada
installed in the gnat directory.

Hope this helps. I would like other feedback as well.

thanks, srini
