Perhaps you can! You do not need to rely on your university
to install the software you need, and it
definitely appears that indeed you can't rely on them.

Grab your own copy of GNAT, on any machine you like, the
Solaris version if you like, and install it where you want
using option 3. Now of course if your university will not
supply the few $$ worth of disk space necessary for this
installation, then you do have a problem.
