   I have successfully installed the linum.el library, and have the following
   code in .emacs:

   (require 'linum)

   So in order to see line numbers, I interactively enter "M-x linum".  The
   same command removes line numbers when applied again (it's a toggle).  I
   want the default action to be to show line numbers.  I've tried this hook:

   (setq ada-mode-hook
      'lambda () 'linum))

   That was just a guess at how the hook should be composed.  It didn't work. 
   I also tried:

   (setq ada-mode-hook
      'lambda () linum))

   ..and..

   (setq ada-mode-hook
      'lambda () (linum)))

   ..and..

   (setq ada-mode-hook
      'linum))

   There are never any errors, but the hooks simply do not trigger.

Each of these has too many closing parentheses.
