you are right (Thanks Ludovic and Xavier)! I'm sorry I usually test 
application using no flag or -version.

I installed GNAT from ubuntu software center so i think it is yours 
patched version.
Now I have another problem! :(
I am testing an application reliable in this website:

http://www.math.unipd.it/~tullio/SCD/2010/Materiale/EX05.zip

and I've seen my professor compiling and executing it on Ubuntu!

Problems:

1. I've entered the command:
"demo.sh" (a launcher that would compile and run application)
but it doesn't work and it returns the same error: "raised 
SYSTEM.ASSERTIONS.ASSERT_FAILURE : xe_names.adb:138".

2. I've tried to enter the command:
"po_gnatdist ./obj/erat_quater.cfg"
and this is the output:
"/usr/bin/gnat make ./obj/erat_quater_monolithic_app.adb -c -k -P 
/home/alessandro/Scrivania/Distributed_Erathostenes/dsa/dist_app_project.gpr

and DSA directory has been created but no executable has been created...

3. I have entered the command (taking a look at makefile):
"po_gnatdist -Isrc ./obj/erat_quater.cfg"

with this output:
"/usr/bin/gnat make ./obj/erat_quater_monolithic_app.adb -c -k -P 
/home/alessandro/Scrivania/Distributed_Erathostenes/dsa/dist_app_project.gpr

-aO/usr/lib/ada/adalib/polyorb -aL/usr/lib/ada/adalib/polyorb
"

and also here! DSA has been created but no executable! :(

I think this is my fault but I don't understand why...

I have to admit that I am not practical with Ada and Corba!

Thanks Ludovic!
