I'm trying to use the Ada emacs extensions provided by Stephan, Matt
and others. On my Win95 platform it works to perfection. On my Sun
Solaris platform it doesn't seem to work at all. Being a novice I'm
trying to get up to speed by reading (and reading, and ...) but it's
slow going. Any help would be appreciated.

emacs-20.6 on Sun
emacs-20.4/20.7 on WinXx

[1] I've changed the .emacs and env-settings.el files to refer to
    the Sun/Unix locations. Maybe not correctly?
[2] I notice that the WinXx platform has a ./bin directory missing
    from the Sun. Not important?
[3] When an Ada file is loaded into an emacs buffer:
    a. The Ada popup menu is present
    b. The appearance of the popup menu is different than in WinXx
       (some different options, different text, et alia).
    c. When trying to global make/local make/check-syntax a message
       "Symbol's value as variable is void: compile-command
[4] When byte compiling and loading each *.el file in ./site-lisp the
    Ada menu items (dramatically) change. Missing is a compile option
    and unavailable is the info file required for the Ada help option.
    The only file which compiled was ada-xref.el.

Now I know that I've done something wrong, I think that it's all in the
path, but I don't know how to fix it (without reading, and reading,
and ...). Any ideas?
