Is there somewhere a RedHat Package for gnat ?

There are two sets of packages in
<ftp://ftp.redhat.com:/pub/contrib/contrib-2.2.x> which
together incorporate an Ada and a FORTRAN compiler into the standard
GCC RPMS.  These packages were built on kernel 2.0.4 using RPM 2.2.1.
This means there are dependencies in the packages.  You will need to
ignore them on installation using "--nodep" if you are not running the
Rembrandt beta release.  All of the packages should have a valid pgp
signature with my PGP key.  The first set is an updated libc which
installs (the Ada compiler required) libpthreads.  The second set of
packages is the GCC compiler series itself.

To effectively use the GNAT compiler on Linux you need libpthreads.
Since libpthreads is already in libc-5.3.12 I "borrowed" it from the
devel tree and updated it to conform to the recent RPM changes.  The
only feature unique to the 1Ada version packages is that libpthreads
is not only built, but actually installed (in the libpthreads RPM).

The second set of packages is the GCC compilers.  The easiest way to
recognize all the compilers seemed to be to rebuild the entire GCC
package set.  These are the typical C, C++ and Objective C compilers
with the addition of gnat (the Ada compiler), libgnat (the Ada runtime
system), g77 (FORTRAN), and g77_lib.  A patch to the standard
compilers for a few new options needed by the g77 compiler modifies
the version number for the series from 2.7.2 to 2.7.2.f.1 to avoid the
confusion of having multiple version 2.7.2 compilers.

To run this gnat you will need AT LEAST gcc, gnat, gnat_lib, and
libpthreads.  It is probably safest to also use this libc, although it
might work with the standard libc RPM.  If you have any problems or
questions let me know.
