Problems installing Glade

Problems installing Glade

[Joe Simon]

Ok...

Redhat 9.0

I installed gnat 3.15p and set my path to point to the distribution
installation
(/usr/gnat/bin).

Run gnatmake -v foo

[mc2-sim@mankind gnat]$ gnatmake -v foo

GNATMAKE 3.15p  (20020523) Copyright 1995-2002 Free Software Foundation,
Inc.
End of compilation
gnatmake: "foo" not found

So the correct version is invoked, rather then the system installed version
(3.2.2).

Run the glade configure script as root...

[root@mankind glade-3.15p-src]# ./configure
loading cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu

And just sits there...

Anyone got any ideas ?
I'll let it sit all night in case this is something that takes awhile.

Thanke

Still having same prolem. Installation hangs at
"checking need to emulate thread blocking I/O..."

Ideas ? Anyone ? Please ? Help ?

I really, really want to play with distributed applications in Ada !

thanks !

This faintly rings a bell to me.  I seem to remember that Red Hat
patched their kernel and glibc to include NPTL (New Portable Threads
Library).  It may be that glade-3.15p has problems with it.  I would
suggest you look for a way to disable NPTL (perhaps with an
environment variable, or by writing to a file under /proc).

Also, perhaps using a stock kernel instead of Red Hat's patched kernel
may help.

Sorry I don't have any more specifics.  I hope this at least points
you in the right direction.  FWIW, I've had no problems compiling
glade on a Debian (testing) box with linux 2.4.20-smp and glibc 2.3.1.

Thanks, but this sounds like more than I want to bite off. I just wanna
develop software, not muck with kernals, etc.

Thanks !

Ask at the gtkada mailinglist. One thing that would be helpfull is the
information in the config.log file f.ex.

You mean the mail list for the graphical toolkit. Are you sure that is an
appropriate place to ask questions about installing Glade ?

also, are you saying you want me to post the config.log ?

Thanks,
Joe

There are two things called "Glade"; the distributed system builder,
and the GUI builder. It's usually clear from context which is meant,
but apparently this got confused here. I can't tell from this snippet
which is meant.

GtkAda GLADE is the GUI builder.

Ok, gothca, This question refers to the Ada Distributed computation, annex-e
compliant implementation.

To re-iterate...

Attempting to install the Glade (Ada Distributed computation, annex-e
compliant implementation0 on a redhat 9 box. I downgraded the compiler to
the 3.15p version, and attempted to run the configure script

The script hangs...

hangs at this blocking io call. I have been advised to find a kernal patch
or some such. I am not a kernal hacker nor sys admin. i just want to
experiment with the distributed aspects of Ada.

Can anyone offer a sane way to get Glade to build ?
