Try "./doconfig" instead of just "doconfig"? (ie, is "." on your path?)

Looks like a csh construct.

If you look at the top of doconfig, what does it say? I only have
gnat-3.11p-i386-pc-solaris2.6-bin here, which requires csh not sh.

try "csh doconfig"

Sounds like a shared library path problem; a proper installation will
probably fix this.
