MIPSel is not affected, > only MIPS (http://buildd.debian.org/pkg.cgi?pkg=ahven). Unfortunately, I have neither a MIPS architecture nor Debian (Windows only here...) I just rebuilt adabrowse from scratch from the 4.0.2-6 sources you mentioned and GNAT 5.03a for Windows. Then I ran it on the ahven sources gotten from http://download.gna.org/ahven/ahven-1.2.tar.gz after adding ahven-compat.ads to the list in ahven.specs. No problem at all. Looks like a problem with either ASIS or GNAT on the MIPS platform. I'm terribly sorry, but there's nothing I can do. We'd need a GNAT-savvy person on a MIPS/Debian platform to debug this and figure out the cause and a work-around. Once a work-around exists, I can incorporate it into the sources of my base distribution. Regards, Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
