Hi!
I have been trying to get the vanilla (i.e., without any patches)
svn/trunk version of plplot (rev 12185) to build on openSUSE Factory
(which will become the next openSUSE release later). For the most part
the build system works great.

Unfortunately there is one issue with the svn version that is not
present with the 5.9.9 release. It is that the cmake build system fails
to detect the presence of the gnat library in my (openSUSE) system and
turns off the ada bindings automatically. 
==============================================
-- Build files have been written
to: /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/plplot/builddir/language_tests/Ada
-- Check for working Ada builder: /usr/bin/gnatmake
-- Check for working Ada builder: /usr/bin/gnatmake -- works
-- gnat version = 
-- WARNING: gnat library not found. Disabling ada bindings
==============================================

With plplot 5.9.9 and a small patch [2], this used to work perfectly
fine on all versions of openSUSE, i.e., the build system would detect
the presence of gnat 4.6 just fine. Please note that gnat is provided in
openSUSE by the package named libada46 which is pulled in automatically
when one installs gcc-ada (gcc46-ada), i.e., gnat is installed in an
openSUSE system as a dependency of gcc-ada. 

For now, I have simply turned off the ada bindings for plplot trunk on
openSUSE. However, I would be grateful if someone could point me to a
real fix for the issue, so that I can get the ada bindings back on
again.

Thanks a lot and bye.
