Are you talking about programming in the Ada language? If so you first need to compile and link your program and then run it. The development/compile environment for Ada is called gnat. Find that and install it then compile your program and you should be ready to go.

yeah... i have all that setup; gnat and it's dependencies. what people weren't telling me is how to run the program... i figured it out: ./filename

thanks anways.

i may be asking more questions here at a later time.

I worked with Ada for a number of years. I may be able to help you but then who knows. The ./filename is how any program which is not on your $PATH is executed. You have to fully identify it because . is unually not on your $PATH for security reasons (though many change that).
