Thanks Martin! I was wondering about Annex E support. I have been planning a move to 64-bit for some time now, and the uncertainty over the toolchain (and the cost) had held me back. I now have a 64-bit test system running Linux, but haven't settled on any particular distribution yet. Currently, I'm testing Fedora Core 5 Test 3, but it is probably a bit too "leading edge" for my needs, and I don't want to get stuck on an OS upgrade treadmill. I had tried Debian, knowing that Ludovic Brenta was doing great work on GNAT support in Debian. But I didn't get on very well with Sarge, lacking hardware support and multi-arch. I wasn't sure if I could run the 32-bit applications on it properly. Suse seemed very promising, and your creation of a complete set of GNAT packages makes it quite attractive. Perhaps this is what I should use? As regards Annex E, I am still stuck with the version of Glade that goes with GNAT 3.15p, and there appears to be a nasty bug which I hit occasionally. I had got the impression that Glade development had halted in favour of PolyOrb. Which of these should I be using? I guess I should stick with Glade if that is what you have packaged! Is it easy to make rpms for FC5? Or can the SuSE rpms be made to work? Thanks again! -- Adrian
