Maybe I would need to "cd /root" and then make sure the GNAT compiler is on the PATH for the root user by editing the .bashrc file but I didn't do go down that path. Still it's a good advice for somebody else who runs into the same problem. Maybe it works for them. Strange it didn't work for me.

Thanks Björn again. I reverted the change of ownershipt that I had done and tried "sudo su -" and discovered I had been editing bort .bashrc and .profile in the root directory and was pointing out an older version of GNAT, not Community Edition 2021. Fixing that made it possible to install AWA withouth permission issues. It also made the error messages from Dynamo go away. So thanks! It solved the problem.

Best regards,
Joakim
