Here is what I did: - Download all the required packages from AdaCore (Gtk+, glib, cairo, atk...) - Install as explained in the INSTALL files, but always add the option "--prefix=/usr/" to the "make" command line (be sure to be root). Otherwise, it installs in /usr/local/, and you'll have a hard time adjusting various paths... - Note that there is an order for installing the various pieces, but I don't know what it is (nor did I find any information about that). When something failed to install, I just went on installing the rest, and retried later... I eventually installed everything within a finite number of iterations!
