Having just installed the latest Debian "Squeeze" 6.0, I decided to try
the latest ADA & AWS to see their current state.
I downloaded a fresh install 'package' from AdaCore and:
1) Ada installed without problems giving me:
==================================================
GPS 5.0.1 (20110113) hosted on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
GNAT 4.4.5
the GNAT Programming Studio
This is the GPS GPL Edition.
==================================================
This works well, BUT
2) and then to install AWS ! -- failure ! See below.
BTW: I checked up on the message
"Can not generate system tags. The test are disabled"
and according to the reply it indicates that Python or some files
are missing. Python is NOT missing, but not being a Python programmer
I have no idea if any Python files are missing. And of course the
error message does not indicate if its fatal.
AWS is a useful ADA enhancement package, but it's not very useful if one
can't install it! Perhaps the install procedures might need revising in
some way to offer a more reliable install method :-)
