[gtkada] problem installing GtkAda-gpl-2.8.0

[Philippe Bertin]

JF,

I see that I forgot to include the newsgroup in my first reply. This is 
hereby "corrected".

Anyway, did you do ldconfig on your system ? You should install the 
devel rpm's on your system. Then run ldconfig (double security as I 
think your system will have run it by then).

I suspect that your non-empty LD_LIBRARY_PATH is in your way. What is 
currently happening to my feeling is that you mix your rpm's packages 
with your newly installed libraries...

Maybe you should run your ./configure script with LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to 
empty after having done the actions above. I don't think it has anything 
to do with AdaCore's files.

Kind regards,

PhB.
