Re: Strange link error

Hi,

I think I have found the problem. Thanls to the -v switch of gnatmake I 
realized that in the old directory apq.ali was found in the object 
directory of the project while it was not on the new directory (where 
the message was 'apq.ali is a read only library'). I think that the old 
directory contained a copy of apq.ali from the time it was installed on 
my local ADA_*_PATH...

Removing the file caused both project to fail at the same point.

I added the -lapq flag to the linker switch and it works now.
