But, thanks again. I tried to compile gcc 2.7.2 with ada included.. after some hours of compilation (the RS6000 is a 8 year old 25 MHz machine) the build died because "gnat1" could not be linked by "ld". The reason was that the TOC (table of contents, i assume) has had more than 65536 entries. Then I fetched the "binutils" in order to link with gnu-ld, but this gave the same error. I have given up to have "glade" on my AIXen (I have 7, but 5 of them run AIX 3.2 and will never be upgraded). GNAT is not the only compiler that i would like to have on this old set of machines. Normally i use Fortran, but i am stuck with IBM xlf-3.1, since this is the last version that runs on AIX 3.2. IBM does not supply the actual version xlf-5x for the old OS Isn't it a shame that one is forced to upgrade systems? I am shure that the compilers would run smoothly on the old OSes, would they only be compiled on the old OSes. I do not want to change my running systems!!!
