In outline, when you see this sort of error, find the installation's "Ada 
include directory" which contains the named file...

locate a-tigeli.adb
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.9/rts-native/adainclude/a-tigeli.adb

open in editor (read only) ... and see
--     A D A . T E X T _ I O . G E T _ L I N E      --
so we know the error occurred in "Get_Line"

And look at line 96:

   function Get_Chunk (N : Positive) return Natural is
...blah...
         else
            raise End_Error;
         end if;

Looks like we ran out of file somehow. From here on it's usually 
straightforward.
