The GNATS installation which the package has been created from would have 
to contain some default settings, and those may not suit you. You will 
probably have to go through the post-installation configuration detailed in 
the GNATS manual to get a setup that works for you, somewhat offsetting the 
advantages of using a package.

Anyway, GNATS 3.113.1 should build nicely on Solaris 2.6, so if I were you, 
I'd try to build it and set it up from scratch. The GNATS 3 manual is not 
as good as it should be, but you should be able to make things work. 
Otherwise, wait for GNATS 4, which has better docs and is an altogether 
much nicer piece of software.
