There are at least three problems:

1) Apparently the texttools authors simply ignored these warnings?

2) The library should be installed precompiled; why is GNAT
   recompiling it?

3) This appears to be a missing library.

Sorry I can't be much more help. I suggest you contact the texttools
authors directly.
