Hi all,
Thank you for the all the suggestions. I implemented "sudo aptitude install gnat libmp3-dev" as per David Dooling's suggestion. It seemed to work.
When I try to configure GCC now it says that gnatmake and gnatbind are present and that the compiler driver understands Ada. It says that I have the correct version of gmp.h but not the correct version of mpfr.h
I then tried to intall mpfr-2.3.1 which I think went well using the
./configure, make, su, make install procedure that Carl Fitch sent me.
However when I got to "su" and was asked for a password, when I typed
in the administrative password I got
"su: Authentification failure"
any ideas?
Thanks,
Matthew

Matt,
As mentioned in another post, there are So-Ill resources. Please join
the SILUG
discussion list, at silug.org. It's not very high traffic, but
is
fairly active. One thing it doe have going for it is that there are
several professional linux admins on it. Also, there is a Carbondale
chapter of the silug group, and I thought there was an ACM chapter at
SIUC (there is, but it's not too active either http://www.siu.edu/~acm/
)...
HTH,
William
