But I have an old Mandrake; the problem is not with GtkAda, but with all the (non Ada) stuff that GtkAda requires. Tell me I should switch to a more recent/convenient distro? Sure. Experience shows that reinstalling, putting back all the nice customisations in place, etc. can take a week, with a serious risk of losing some important files. I should do it sooner or later.

Just ensure gnat is > in the path, ./configure and ./make install Once again, I was not talking about GtkAda itself, but all the other stuff. And with RPM-based distros, you have no idea how they are installed. -- --------------------------------------------------------- J-P.
