I am having a very difficult time understanding something.  I am
trying to do this using gnat on Ubuntu 14.04 system:
 
with Ada.Strings; use Ada.Strings;
with Ada.Strings.Fixed; use Ada.Strings.Fixed;

subtype string255fixedtype is string (1.255);
inbuf : string255fixedtype;

BEGIN
  inbuf := Get_Line;
  inbuf := trim(inbuf,both);  
--    this does not work, error is both is not visible

No combination of ada.strings.fixed.both, or ada.strings.both got it
to be visible.

However, I was able to get left and right to work, by using
ada.strings.left and ada.strings.right.

Trim_end is an enumeration type that says (left,right,both) in the
books I've looked at.

What am I missing?

Thanks
