This is a problem between newer linux kernels and older GNAT versions.  Download
the latest version of GNAT for Linux from cs.nyu.edu.

please send bug reports for GNAT to gnat-report@cs.nyu.edu, that's where
the people are who can help you. In this case, you have apparently
got something misintalled, and anyway I can tell that you are using a
very ancient version of GNAT. Please get the latest version, follow
the installation instructions TO THE LETTER, and then try again.

The current version of GNAT is 1.83. Binary releases for OS/2, DOS, Linux,
SunOS, Solaris, RS6000, Alpha + others can be FTP'ed from cs.nyu.edu.

Flash: we have just completed the port for NT, and this will also be made
available at cs.nyu.edu in the near future.

        ^^^^^^^

Well, I'll be very interested by a Solaris version of GNAT (and a lot of others
too), but I can't found it on cs.nyu.edu....

So, where is this Solaris version ?

Pascal.

Sorry the Sun SOlaris 2.0 version is NOT yet available for FTP from cs.nyu.edu,
we hope to have it packaged up, along with the Solaris 386 version sometime
this coming week.

Robert: 

I presume you mean the port to NT on Intel, but since NT runs on a number
of platforms, it would be useful to clarify both the target OS and the
target architecture in future announcements of ports.

Sorry Norm, you are quite right, I should have clarified, we are talking
about NT for x86. We also have done some work on NT for ALpha, but that
will not be available for a while. We are currently not looking at all
at NT for other machines (such as the power PC ??? :-)
