Setting jGRASP workspace PATHS

Setting jGRASP workspace PATHS

[john]

I have installed the latest version of jGRASP and gnat-2011-x86_64-
apple-darwin10.2.0-b on my Mac running Lion. When I attempt to
compile, I get the following error message:

 ----jGRASP exec: gnatmake -g hello.adb
gcc -c -g hello.adb
gcc: error trying to exec 'as': execvp: No such file or directory
gnatmake: "hello.adb" compilation error

How do I select / set the correct PATH options in jGRASP so I can
compile Ada on my Mac?
I would like to do this without having to mess around with the lower-
level UNIX variables, if possible.

TIA

You need to install Xcode. It's a free download in the App Store.

Be warned: when it says it's installed, what's actually been installed
in Applications is the installer! you need to run that in order to have
Xcode on your machine.

May be a good idea to keep the installer in case you need to reinstall
(saves 2GB download).
