Ok, gothca, This question refers to the Ada Distributed computation, annex-e
compliant implementation.

To re-iterate...

Attempting to install the Glade (Ada Distributed computation, annex-e
compliant implementation0 on a redhat 9 box. I downgraded the compiler to
the 3.15p version, and attempted to run the configure script

The script hangs...

hangs at this blocking io call. I have been advised to find a kernal patch
or some such. I am not a kernal hacker nor sys admin. i just want to
experiment with the distributed aspects of Ada.

Can anyone offer a sane way to get Glade to build ?
