Hi again. Here's what Simon requested.
# file /usr/local/gnat/bin/gps_exe
/usr/local/gnat/bin/gps_exe: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 
1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

Whoops!
Ludovic, you were absolutely correct. I messed up.
I am indeed running a 32bit OS. I was dead certain I downloaded the
64bit version of Mandriva. But that was months ago, and I just installed
it the other day.
Man! Do I feel stupid right now ;)

Thank you everyone for your contributions, I suppose my problem is
solved now. I'll just download the RIGHT version of Mandriva this time.

Best regards!
OBTW: It has been a very pleasant experience getting help here.
