1. For the install option of RPM you have to use the complete
filename of the package as you did. It seems you did that
before, thats why rpm complains...

2. The package name is not the filename! For the query you
   should try "rpm -q gnat-3.12p" (thats the package name).
   You can get the package name from the package file by
   using "rpm -q -p gnat-3.12p_glibc2.1-1-8.i386.rpm -i"

3. With that you just installed the runtime! To get the compiler
   and the development tools, you must at least install the
   package gnat-devel-3.12p_glibc2.1-1-8.i386.rpm

4. After that you can use the command "gnatmake" to build your
   project or "gnatgcc" to compile an individual unit.

5. You may go to the directory /usr/doc/gnat-devel-3.12p/examples
   and type "make". This should compile and run a few examples.
   If that works you have a good chance that everything is setup
   correctly.
