gtk.ads not found when compiling

[joesmoe10]

I'm using Ubuntu 8.10, gtkAda 2.12 and gnat 4.3.1.

Compiling the simple window example results in this:

simple.adb:1:06: file "gtk.ads" not found
gnatmake: "simple.adb" compilation error

I have installed all the libgtkada's, and gnat-glade

I think it has to do with the gtkada2-config script. I think the paths that the script looks for are different. On my system I don't have /usr/lib/gtkada or /usr/include/gtkada. The path for gtkada seems to be /usr/lib/ada/adalib/gtkada2

find . -iname "*gtkada*" on /usr gives me this:

Just hava a look into /usr/share/doc/libgtkada2-dev/README.Debian:

"Upstream provides a configuration script, /usr/bin/gtkada-config,
which is part of the libgtkada2-dev package. I recommend against
using this script, because this may lead to problems when combining
several libraries in the same program. Instead, I recommend using
GNAT project files. Each -dev package provides one, which you can
"with" into your own:

/usr/share/ada/adainclude/gnomeada2.gpr
/usr/share/ada/adainclude/gtkada2.gpr

See instructions in these files for more details."
