This looks like an incomplete installation of GNAT; you should not
have to specify -x ada.

What GNAT package did you install?

I don't understand this answer. I asked what keystroke you used.

Then you clearly have an old Ada mode. What does 'M-x
ada-mode-version' display? It should be 4.00 for the version from the
website or Emacs CVS head, 3.7 for Emacs 22.

Check your Emacs load-path for old copies, or install the one from the
Ada mode website.
