actually i should have read past 

You can compile the program using the following command ($ is used as the command prompt in the examples in this document):

 	
$ gcc -c hello.adb

gcc is the command used to run the compiler. This compiler is capable of compiling programs in several languages, including Ada and C. It assumes that you have given it an Ada program if the file extension is either `.ads' or `.adb', and it will then call the GNAT compiler to compile the specified file.

because i got the following error:

   error: invalid value 'ada' in '-x ada'

still do. but Dmitry answer was perfect and worked.

thanks jeff, i will try read that documentation to the end.

hey, but don't go to far though, i'm sure i will have questions. 
this is day one of learning ADA.
i'm using an old book though ada 95 program solving and program design, 2ed.

thanks again,
