After working with my assigned SG engineer, we were able to determine that there is a bug in the linking process of the SG Ada 95 compiler. I was able to statically link the GNAT archive library into my executable, but for some reason the executable also contained an additional (and unused) reference to the GNAT dynamically shared object library. So, when the runtime linker (rld) began to load the executable, it could not resolve the GNAT DSO reference and raised an error. I really want to thank Rick Avila at SGI for his hard work and help. As far as my "sales pitch" comment goes, I guess I was unjustifiably hard on Robert Dewar and ACT. It was my belief that my company would be "supported" since we had purchased the SG compiler (which was built by ACT). I was under a lot of pressure with a delivery deadline looming over me. I needed answers immediately. It was unfair of me to portray ACT and Robert Dewar in a negative fashion. I understand their position now and I am sorry for being short sighted. I hope Robert will accept my apology for my rash words and bad attitude. He has been very professional in all of this and I wish I could say the same for me. I would also like to thank everyone in the Ada community who offered help with this issue. Sincerely, Paul Colvert
