Yes.

The location should not matter, any of those places should be fine.

They go in the same place, under the PATH line that you put in /etc/profile, and should look like this:

export EUDIR=/home/carolyn/euphoria-4.0b2 export EUINC=/home/carolyn/euphoria-4.0b2/include

Note that the EUINC line is optional (i.e. you don't have to add it).

Well, I tried that and a message came up saying "Can't open file to write". Presumably this means I need root access to the file but how do I get that (preferably without having to type loads of stuff in the command line)?

Carolyn,
Since you installed euphoria in your home directory, it will be accessible only by carolyn user. So you'd better modify the /.bashrc and /.bash_profile files than /etc/profile which is global to all users. if those files doesn't exist create them. Note that the ~ above is short for $HOME and that you have full rights to modify those files. Write same thing in those 2 files as you would in /etc/profile.

EUDIR=$HOME/euphoria-4.0b
PATH=$EUDIR/bin:$PATH
EUINC=$EUDIR/include
export PATH EUDIR EUINC

But if you want it to be accessible to all login users, install in /usr/local/share/applications/euphoria-4.0b and modify /etc/profile

Jacques

NOTES:
dotted files are normaly invisible in bash to see them use -a option with ls like this:
ls -a

.bashrc is configuration file for login bash shell (the shell that is create when a user log in).
.bash_profile is configuration file for non login bash shell (when one type bash on command line).

Which file couldn't be opened?

I suspect it was "hello.ex".

In that case, I'm not surprised. The file "hello.ex" resides in the $EUDIR/tutorial folder, and as you didn't let Euphoria know that, it didn't look in that folder. I'm assuming you have actually defined the EUDIR symbol. Try this instead ...

eui $EUDIR/tutorial/hello.ex

Oh, yeah, try ed, and then lets talk.

You can create an eu.cfg file right in your home directory, so no sudo required. The docs for config files: eu.cfg. In your home directory, create a file called .eu.cfg. Note the leading period! This identifies a 'hidden' file in linux. Here is what my eu.cfg looks like:

[all] 
-i ~/euphoria/dev/makedoc 
-i ~/euphoria/include/special 
-i /usr/local/share/euphoria/include 
-i ~/euphoria/include 
-i ~/euphoria/include/win32lib/Include 
-i ~/euphoria/include/eusql 
-i ~/euphoria/include/matheval 
-i ~/euphoria/include/ooeu 
-i ~/euphoria/include/wxeu 

All it does is the equivalent to setting EUINC to include all of those directories. But in an easier to manage way. Also, changing this file takes immediate effect.

I've done it, I've done it I added the additional folders to PATH and now I can open tutorial files like celsius.

Next problem (sorry, folks):

I was going to create a file of my own to try out. I tried typing eui ed and what came up in Terminal was this:

carolyn@Car followed by the flashing cursor rectangle file name: followed by nothing

What normally comes up on the first line is: carolyn@Carolyn-PC:~$

Any ideas, anyone?

Well, it worked!

I shall now leave you all in peace while I get used to version 4. Looks as if you've added some new operations for sequences, which is great.

Thanks to you all for your help.
