A beginner's question

[Ada Beginner]

Hi

What does the following error mean, and how do i fix it:

Compiling c:\gnat305\gw-gnat\test.adb
fatal error: run-time library configuration error
cannot locate "Set_Rc_Offset" in file "a-tags.ads" (entity not in
package)
compilation abandoned

I got it in GNAT for dos and also in GNAT for windows.
Thanks..

This isn't really an Ada problem, as you seem to be having a problem
with the installation of your compiler, GNAT.

You may want to post GNAT problems to the GNAT chat mailing list.

You can subscribe to the gnat chat list by sending a message with the

Seems an installation problem. As that version (3.05) is very old,
it might be difficult to indentify. Try a "fresh" one:

Windows (9x/NT):
  http://ftpsearch.lycos.com/cgi-bin/search?form=normal&query=gnat-3.11p-nt

DOS:
