I'm glad that works; thanks for the feedback.

The space problem sounds like a bug, but it could be in your shell
rather than in Alire. It's simpler just to edit the alire config file
directly; it's ~/.config/alire/config.toml


You can also tell ada-mode to use an alire environment from within
Emacs. For example, here is the elisp code to do that for the
ada_language_server source:

------ prj.el ------
;; Emacs wisi project definitions for navigating ada_language_server -*- 
no-byte-compile: t; -*-
(require 'gnat-alire)

(wisi-prj-select-cache
 "alire.toml"
 (create-alire-project
  :name "als 23.1 patch"
  :gpr-file (expand-file-name "gnat/lsp_server.gpr")
  :xref-label ada-xref-backend
  )
 "alire.toml"
 )
------- end prj.el -------
