Hello everyone,

as you might have guessed already from the header, I have spent
considerable time trying to get a working version of gnat on my linux
system.
The specs: RedHat 5.0 with glibc-2.0.7 (which is the source of 
all of this problems, methinks), gcc-2.7.2.3 
Now, in spite of several hints found in this group (thanks to Alain
Bizzi), I have not been able to compile gnat nor have I been able
to install the binary distribution in a way that it works.
(binary gives the following error : crtbegin.o not found, when
 binding/linking is started)

I know that the development crew does not want any pressure put
on them, but somewhere I have read, that they are already running
gnat-3.11 on RedHat-5.0 based systems.
It would be a great thing, if a Beta Release could be made (for 
3.11 on linux), or if there was some way to get gnat-3.10 running
for the above described linux setup (e.g. where to get the proper
 crt-stuff).
Any help on this is appreciated. 
I do not want to have to switch to NT being a poor researcher 
working at an even poorer university.
Also, downgrading the system (i.e. switching to another distribution
is not an option for me :-)

Andreas
