I would guess you are doing something wrong. For instance
a typical mistake is to take a distribution whose readme
file clearly says it is for Redhat 5, and try to install
it on Redhat 6.

Years of experience in building PC's, installing server
networks, writing huge Ada (please note spelling) programs
etc are NOT, in our experience, a guaranteed vaccine that
ensures you are immune to the disease of making such
mistakes :-)

I suggest you tell people EXACTLY what you are trying to
do and then maybe someone can help. They are even more
likely to help if you post this in an approrpriate forum
dedicated to GNAT problems rather than CLA!
