I was successfully using GNAT with AdaGIDE on Windows 2000.
I went to compile a small test program today and it would not compile.
I have tried uninstallling, deleting directories, and reinstalling the
programs but fomr some reason I continue to get an error that "da
compiler not installed on this system"??

Here is what I see in AdaGIDE output:

Building...
GNATMAKE 3.15p (20020523) Copyright 1995-2002 Free Software
Foundation, Inc
"helloworld.ali" being checked ...
-> "helloworld.ali" missing.

Here is the program:
with "Text_Io";
PROCEDURE HelloWorld IS
-- i : Integer;
begin
Test_Io.Put("Hello World");
END HelloWorld;

"Did you install a new gcc version? It may have hijacked
your search
path such that the GNAT-compatible gcc is not accessible."

Yep, that was the problem. Thanks Dennis! I had installed an IDE
called WideStudio that came with gcc among other things. It placed gcc
at the end of the PATH and apparently the search order is from right
to left, and it was taking that gcc and not the one in \gnat\bin.

That error message implies that it is NOT a problem in the
source code
-- the problem is a change in your OS.
