Re: How to enable Ada with GCC in linux

[Ada novice <shai.lesh@gmx.com>]

Thanks all for your inputs. I will answer your queries for  $ echo $PATH, $ gnatls -v and  $ gnatgcc -v:

1. $ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/usr/gnat/bin

2. $ gnatls -v

3. $ gnatgcc -v

gnatgcc: command not found



Yes I installed gnat in /usr/gnat. This was the default path in the "doinstall" script in the GNAT GPL 2011 installation. Anyway, if I now want to remove the GNAT GPL 2011 and put it in the right folder say /usr/local/gnat-2011 and subsequently have GNAT 2012 in /usr/local/gnat-2012, will a 

rm -rf/usr/gnat suffice?


Yes it would be wise to have a good installation rather than one which would require fixes later on.


Thanks,
