I am not sure if euc is working properly or not. I am just following the manual. When I run eui myproj.ex the output is as expected. However when using resultant euc file the system says command not found. I must be doing something wrong.
root@anthill:/usr/share/euphoria/tutorial# eui myproj.ex Hello, I am an interpreted program. root@anthill:/usr/share/euphoria/tutorial# euc -con myproj.ex Translating code, pass: 1 2 3 generating Compiling with GCC Compiling 14% init-.c Compiling 57% myproj.c Compiling 85% main-.c Linking 100% myproj root@anthill:/usr/share/euphoria/tutorial# ls -all myproj -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 179010 2010-11-04 02:33 myproj root@anthill:/usr/share/euphoria/tutorial# myproj myproj: command not found
Thanks.

On Linux, the current directory is not usually in your path, as it is on Windows. So you need to do:
$ ./myproj

Just as a side note it's not generally good practice to use root for an every day account. Root user can do anything it wants, which can lead to all sorts of problems with just one typo. Generally you should create a user account and use it for everything you do and only use root when you need to make system changes.

I concur with Jeremy on not using root.
Consider the following commands:
cd
rm -Rf *
versus
cd \
rm -Rf *
You were attempting to delete everything from your user home directory.
The top two commands, not using root would do that - the bottom two commands,
if you were using root, would delete everyting - your whole linux is gone.
The only difference was a single slash! Easy mistake to make.
And Linux does not have a recycle bin when using the command line.

Hi
That's not a mistake, it's a learning experience.
