can someone tell me why I am getting this error?

can someone tell me why I am getting this error?

[Beau]

I was am tryong to figure out why I am getting this error
it is saying that it is not recognizing my package that I made.  I compiled
the spec file and then the body, then I included it in the main program with
a WITH statement. anyone know at least a clue how to approach this problem?

We need to see code.  ;-)

And probably a description of what compiler you're using and how you're invoking
it.

And the actual error message.

I don't know how I did it, but it worked perfectly when I moved the driver
file to the same folder as the spec and body file of the package. did this
fix it? or was it "Just one of those things"?

I don't know.  What's a driver file?

you know the main program. I am just used to saying driver. The problem is
old but thanks anyways for trying to help

You had the package in one directory, and the driver in another.

When you compiled the driver, you were in the directory containing it,
but you did not tell the compiler what directories to look in for other
files (packages) on which it depended.  So when you moved the package
code in with the driver code and compiled it, the compiler found the
package in the same directory and all was well.

Look at your compiler's documentation regarding maintaining and
compiling software in different directories.  (If you're using GNAT,
look at the -I compiler switch.)

I assume your driver is a kind of main procedure that "withs" the package. I 
further assume you are using Gnat.

Then the solution is simple:

Without further instructions (RTFM Gnat_UG, well hidden and top secret), Gnat 
assumes all units in the context clause to be in the same directory as the unit 
you are compiling.

Thus by moving the driver, you inadvertantly solved your problem.

OK cool thanks man that is exactly right on everything
