Many thanks Simon.

Setting the link to gprbuild as you suggested made the C compile
proceed a bit further, but it then stumbled on gprconfig. I made a
link to that too in a similar way. This did not solve the problem, it
immediately stopped with a message about
/usr/share/gprconfig (don't remember the exact words).

I then installed GNAT GPL 2009 and now both Ada and C compilations
fail.
I specified the install base directory as /usr/gnat as suggested in
the install Readme file.

Have the logs this time:

gprbuild -ws -c -u -P/home/ken/Adaproj/default.gpr -XBUILD=Debug
main.adb
creating auto.cgpr
Directory not found: /usr/share/gprconfig
No valid configuration found
Generation of configuration files failed
gprbuild: could not create /home/ken/Adaproj/auto.cgpr

gprbuild -ws -c -u -P/home/ken/Adaproj/default.gpr -XBUILD=Debug
guidb.c

I don't know how to interpret and fix this.
