Since you did not post the body you may have other problems here but the
first I see is the
syntax here.  Try something like

package Int_Stack is new genstack(Max => 500, Item => Integer);


Also, try to avoid the 'img attribute even in your test code..It is a handy
feature
but is not portable..It is a nice trick to have up your sleeve but it is
only a few
more kestrokes to type integer'image(ints(J)).

I there are a few more problems lurking in that test driver as well but I am
sure you will find these soon enough.
