But the point is that you cannot make GtkAda applications for linux and
think you can get away with it having to be run from the directory you
stand in. That is just not the case. Do you mean that one should have 10
copies of your program on a machine that has 10 users then so that each
have a copy in their home directories? No it is the design of your
program which is faulty.
