No, this seems confused to me. I use gcc 3.2 (non-ada) to compile the C files
as this is the compiler used by Mandrake for GTK, but GNAT 3.15p compiling
Ada. So far this works. 

If I were to package up RPM's they would minimally include source & binaries
for:

1. GNAT 3.15p
2. GTKADA
3. GPS

And as possibly also

4. GLADE (the GNAT one)
5. ASIS
6. FLORIST

Note that I have patched my gnat 3.15 to use gnatgcc instead of gcc to
prevent confusion (and gnatgdb instead of gdb...)

Such RPMs would also create menu items (hmmm, needs an icon) and setup
file extensions. I guess I need to read up on mdk standards a bit :-)

Another nice one is where to install. I now have everthing under /usr/gnat
as I noticed Sun put Java under /usr/java...
