ok, configure say no Ada installed
but the following works

root@mond---[21:01:48]---/pool/software2/gcc/new/build # gnatmake /pool/PROG/ada/1/main.adb
gnatgcc -c -I/pool/PROG/ada/1/ -I- /pool/PROG/ada/1/main.adb
gnatbind -x main.ali
gnatlink main.ali

Looks like you are running one of those GNAT distributions where the compiler driver for gnat is gnatgcc instead of just plain old gcc. This has caused more problems with builds like this. perhaps you can do something with export CC=gnatgcc before the configure. The basic problem is that (I think) configure does not know how to find gnatgcc, it is looking for a gcc that knows Ada.

What host OS is this?
