Setting the LD_ASSUME ... did not change anything.
Using the Redhat 9 installed comiler (3.2.2) results in...

"configure: error: Please get a version of GNAT no older than 3.14
(20010122)
(it looks like you only have GNAT 3.2.2 20030222 (3.2.2-4))"

So No Go.
I don't know what NPTL is. Guess i'm just SOL (s*it outta luck).

What a pain. Guess I'll never know if Ada's distrbuted model is worth using
or not.

Thanks to All who responded !
