Package Problem

Package Problem

[David Starner]

I've got a problem with nested packages. I'm using Mat Webb's Components,
which has a generic package in it, with a package inside, like:

generic 
    ...
package large_integer is
    ...
    package Variable_Length_Operations
    ...
    private
    ...
end package

and a package, large_integer_handler, which just instatates large_integer
with reasonable values. 

In my program, I have 
with large_integer_handler; use large_integer_handler;
with large_integer_handler.variable_length_operations; 
use large_integer_handler.variable_length_operations;

But that doesn't work. GNAT complains about not finding 
large_integer_handler-variable_length_operations.ads. How do I access that
inner package?

[Frank J. Lhota]

The problem is with the "with" clause

with large_integer_handler.variable_length_operations;

This clause implies that there is a library unit named
large_integer_handler.variable_length_operations, which is not the case.
Just cut the "with" clause and move the "use" clause to the declarative
part.
