setting the environment variable ada_include_path and this has not worked,
can anyone send me an example, I would be very grateful,

You are more likely to get real help if you post the commands you are
using, and show the error message you get. By this I mean the actual
compile command, gnatmake or gcc. Also show the settings of relevant
environment variables. There might be some other
problem you are having, not in fact related to directories.

An example of setting ADA_INCLUDE_PATH:

export ADA_INCLUDE_PATH=e:/stephe/Ada_Work

Note that this is from a bash shell; I use cygwin. What shell are you
using?

-- 
-- Stephe

For directories that only need to be searched for some compiles you 
probably just want to use the -I option on the command line.

If you want to add a directory to the default search path, you have to 
add an entry to the registry.  The easiest way is to use David Botton's 
GNATREG program.  You can find that at
