1. wxEuphoria: doesn't run :-[

Hello,
I want to give a try to the wxEuphoria library but I have wierd problems to make it run. I beleive that I have followed step-by-step the installation instructions described in the readme file but I'm unable to run any of the demo code.
When I execute a demo from an x-term, i.e 'eui about.exw' the program starts to run, see the harddisk activity, the cpu loading the code and doing it's stuff but nothing happens. The program freezes and I must control+c to abort it.
Tested whit the latest OpenEuphoria + wxGTK 2.8.15 under Fedora 15 32-bit. What I am missing?
thank you, Raúl Campos

I don't know. I have never used wxEuphoria before now, but on Windows 7 64-bit, I get this when trying to run examples like bench_draw.exw :
E:\apps\Euphoria\include\wxeud.e:7048 in function get_rect() A machine-level exception occurred during execution of this statement (signal 5)
... called from E:\apps\Euphoria\include\wxeud.e:6784 in function callProc()
^ call-back from Windows
... called from E:\apps\Euphoria\include\wxeud.e:7048 in function get_rect()
... called from E:\apps\Euphoria\include\wxeud.e:6784 in function callProc() Runtime error (Traceback unavailable)
Press Enter...
.. and ex.err is this :
E:\apps\Euphoria\include\wxeud.e:7048 in function get_rect() A machine-level exception occurred during execution of this statement (signal 5) win = <no value>
... called from E:\apps\Euphoria\include\wxeud.e:6784 in function callProc() rid = 15 o = {67728992,10152,-201,846592}
^ call-back from Windows
... called from E:\apps\Euphoria\include\wxeud.e:7048 in function get_rect() win = <no value>
... called from E:\apps\Euphoria\include\wxeud.e:6784 in function callProc() rid = 15 o = {67728992,10152,-201,846768}
I installed using install.bat, and had to edit the include line in the example program, otherwise it wouldn't find wxeud.e , it was looking in include/wxeu/ instead of /include .
Edit : eu.cfg in [euphoria dir]\bin\eu.cfg seems to work now. But I guess that configuration isn't related to this problem .. ?

wxEu[horia runs well under Windows XP prof.
Make sure you place your wxeud.e where it is supposed to be, or place it in two or three locations.

Sometimes when euphoria stops in a Linux console it prints its error in the background colour. Run the mouse with right button pressed in order to show the error. And check ex.err

Hi Chris,
the problem is that the program doesn't crash. It simply runs without any output and the cpu's activity raises to 100% and it gets stucked there untill I manually abort the program. I'll try to trace it line per line to see where it gets stucked if possible.
Is there anyone in here running wxEuphoria under freeBSD 9.0 or linux without problems? please share your configuration, distro, whatever.

wxEuphoria's Linux binaries were built on a Kubuntu system. Especially given that it's C++ code, it wouldn't surprise me to find that it didn't work on another distro. Have you tried building from source?
I haven't attempted anything with wxEuphoria on BSD in several years.

I will try then, to compile the source under different envoironments/hardware and report any results. Currently I use Free-Open-PC-BSD, OpenSolaris, Debian and Fedora and I will probably pass to Linux Mint.
Actualy I only tested wxEuphoria on a cheap eeepc notebook running a 32 bit fedora distro. thanks Matt
