It is NOT easy to install GNAT if you fail to read and follow
the installation instructions. Most of the questions on
the ng about GNAT installation result from not following
the instructions carefully. Other questions result from
trying to install from incomplete distributions (quite
often the documentation gets separated and not passed on
for example).

If you want to install GNAT, be *sure* to read the
documentation! We do not consider computers to be
self-documenting :-) Knowldge of english and a willingness
to read are a prerequesite for installing and using GNAT.
