Hi Everyone

If we create our own C libraries on Linux(or similar posix) the best practice is to put the header in /usr/local/lib and not in /usr/lib where the original libraries installed by the package manager or at install time are located.

On my system, most of the .ads spec files are located in:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6/rts-native/adainclude/

It doesn't seem to like a good idea to install my own spec files there for system wide use.

Would /usr/local/include be better? Do you use something like this? If so, do you have an environmental variable in your.bashrc so that gnatmake finds it without passing an argument ?

Thanks for reading-Patrick
