It looks like the following problem:

  - gnatmake executes gcc to compile Ada source
  - the gcc it finds is a gcc w/o Gnat, i.e. it has no gnat1.
  
Have a look which gcc is first in the path (with 'which gcc') and
compare with gnatmake ('which gnatmake'). Try to change your PATH
variable if the installation locations look different. 

But of course remote diagnosis is difficult under the circumstances. A
bit more information might be helpful.
