Help w/ GNAT on RedHat Linux

Help w/ GNAT on RedHat Linux

[Jay Arnold]

I would greatly appreciate any help installing GNAT 3.10p on a RedHat
5.1 Linux system. After much frustration, I finally have GNAT to the
point where I get the following:

(Input) gnatmake foo.adb

(Output)

gnatbind -x foo.ali
gnatlink  foo.ali

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.7.2.1/adalib//libgnat.a(a-raise.o): In
function
'__gnat_raise_nodefer_with_msg': /red.a/gnatmail/build-red/src/ada/rts/
a-raise.c:120: undefined reference to '__dummy'

gnatmake: *** link failed


I'm not at all sure of what this is telling me, but I hope somebody can
explain!
Thanks.

I tried following the instructions at gnat chat, but it didn't work for me
at least. *shrug*

My problem was solved by downloading the debian gnat package and
converting it to an rpm with alien. After which it's as simple as
installing any other rpm. Works great!

P.S. After installation change directory to /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.3/
     and run

        ln -s /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.7.2.3/* .

cheers
