gprbuild is available on this system. I suspect something is broken in
how the doinstall script or it expects information from the environment
that isn't setup correctly.

I don't know if I will need it. For the most part, I am looking at the
tool and the company, and generally assessing the technology and its
community/culture.

Thanks. I've collected most of the source code that you've made
available on your website. I'll probably study it during the next few
weeks and probably use some of it to explore the GNAT tools (for
building and managing software). But I am a little hesitant to install
binaries from untrusted sources...

Besides, I think I managed to get gtkada installed (I haven't tested
it). For posterity:

[hanzer@galileo7]$ git clone https://github.com/AdaCore/gtkada.git
[hanzer@galileo7]$ cd gtkada/
[hanzer@galileo7]$ sudo ./doinstall

Gtk+ binary package not found. Aborting the installation process.

[hanzer@galileo7]$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/gtkada
...
