Redhat v1.2.13 and gnat

Redhat v1.2.13 and gnat

[Elfbjorn]

I am running Redhat linux v1.2.13.  I downloaded the binaries for gcc2.7.2
and put them in the right places.  However, when I downloaded the
gnat-linuxaout (whatnot), I tried setting it up to work properly, but it
didn't.

Is there anyone there who would be able to tell me where to put the adalib
and adainclude directories?  The repeated error is that it cannot find
s-stalib.ali (even though I know where it is... :)  ).

Thanks much.  Email preferred mode of response.

If you're running a current version of Redhat Linux (you will need rpm 2.2 or
newer) you might be better off trying the RPMs for GNAT at
<ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/contrib-2.2.x/RPMS>.  You will need at least
the libc, libpthreads, libgnat, gnat, and gcc RPMS with the -1Ada release
number.  Other RPMS with the -1Ada release number are designed to work with
these (static libs and other compilers).  If you aren't running the Rembrandt
Beta release of Redhat you may need to use the --nodep option to RPM to install
these RPMS.  I should point out, I guess, since you where using gnat-linuxaout
that these RPMS install the ELF compiler.

The RPMS work for me, and I haven't heard of any problems, but that doesn't
mean there aren't any.  Let me know if there are any questions about or
problems with the RPMS.
