I think the GCC that is already installed on my machines does not come with= the Ada language enabled. You would also loose some hot bug > fixes. What kind of fixes? Does AdaCore not periodically fix their GNAT?=20 I had earlier installed pure Debian in a Virtual Box but I got only a very = small screen with a bad resolution. This problem is very common if you make= a google search and there is no standard fix to it. So yes pure Debian boa= sts to be the best but it does not seem to do much effort as far as hardwar= e compatibility is concerned. If people wants to use pure Debian and spend = countless hours to tweak settings in order to get the proper screen resolut= ion, then it is their choice. I have Linux mint Debian and Crunchbang Linux in two Virtual Boxes and I di= d not have any problems with screen resolutions. As they are both direct de= rivatives of Debian, so why not use them? I have earlier installed Debian Ada on Linux mint and on Crunchbang and the= n I got the same error message when launching GPS. I do not have the error = message with me but the tips popup is not displayed when GPS is launched an= d a message is displayed in the message panel in GPS. Perhaps this is the r= eason that I went for GPL GNAT and here GPS launches well (I had to install= the libjpeg62 library though on Crunchbang). YC >=20 > --=20 >=20 > Regards, >=20 > Dmitry A.
