Which "official packages"? please show the command line you used, or at
least the package name and version if you used a GUI (once again, GUIs
make things harder :).

(I could interpret "official package" as "the .tar.gz from
http://libre.adacore.com/libre/ , but I'm assuming you mean "Ubuntu
package". I still need the version.).

You can run 'gprbuild -v -v' to get a log of how it searches for the
compiler.

It does on Debian - perhaps you should upgrade :).
