[gtkada] Re: cannot create .ali file

[Lloyd Dizon]

Thanks Vlad for your help. The INSTALL file provided with GtkAda didn't
mention that that the gtkdev package has to be installed and
consequently glibdev. I've only installed gtk+ and glib before
installing GtkAda, then tried building a program. I use SuSE Linux so I
didn't have trouble looking for the gtkdev rpm since they comme with the
SuSE softwarepackage :)
