You did not specify how you installed how you installed GtkAda: was it from
the rpm packages, or directly from sources after recompiling it yourself ?

You also forgot to specify which system you are working on, and I did not find
any clue in your mail regarding that. We need this information before being
able to help you.

These are obviously installation problems, you should redo your installation
of GtkAda from scratch (no need to reinstall the other packages gtk+, glib,
Gnat, ... for now).

You can not get any version of the executables and expect it to work. If you
are trying to work with GtkAda 1.2.8, you have to get the appropriate sources
as well. gate-in.exe was compiled with a previous version of GNAT, and you
thus need a more recent version.
