hi,

has anyone get c2ada to run on Linux?

I finsihed building it on Linux (after much tweeking) , but it 
failes to run (seems like python library problem) :

This is the final link step:

$gcc  ada_types.o aux_decls.o cbfe.o comment.o configure.o context.o fix_stmt.o
 gen.o gen_stmt.o gen_expr.o gen_macros.o ada_perf.o ada_name.o format.o
 initializer.o order.o print.o y.tab.o scan.o nodeop.o package.o c_perf.o
 types.o stab.o stmt.o symset.o units.o anonymous.o localfunc.o libcbind.a \
                 config.o  -L/usr/lib/python1.5/lib-dynload
 -L/usr/lib/python1.5/lib-stdwin -L/usr/lib/python1.5/lib-tk
 -L/usr/lib/python1.5/config -lpython1.5 -lm -lnsl -ldl -lm  -o cbfe
 

$./cbfe 
symset.c, line 54, Assertion Failed: pymod_Symbol

    pymod_Symbol = PyImport_ImportModule("Symbol");
    assert(pymod_Symbol);    ----> this fires

c2ada uses pyhton. which I know very little about. 

It seems work on this tool has stopped sometime ago, since this page
was last updated in 1996.

if someone did make it to run, please let me know. and I'll continue
working on this. I'd like to also package this into an RPM when done with
it. it seems like it would be usefull tool to have on Linux.
