Thanks very much Simon

I have it working now. Here is the build.sh. I am sorry I deleted the gnatbind part the last time when I tried to delete the unneeded echo calls.:
 rm  *.ali *.o
echo  "---------------->compiling c code"
 gcc-9 -c call_printf_src.c 
echo  "---------------->compiling main ada code"
 gcc-9 -c pointer_test.adb c.ads
echo  "---------------->binding ada code"
 gnatbind -x pointer_test.ali 
echo  "---------------->linking ada and c"
 gnatlink -o pointer_test /usr/local/lib/libjim.so.0.77 \
             pointer_test.ali  call_printf_src.o

I don't have -L/usr/local/lib -ljim working as it should but I can figure that out later.

Thanks again-Patrick
