1. (Linux) exu: error in loading shared libraries...

Well there are even more problems creeping out of leftsock today. I get the
error:

exu: error in loading shared libraries: exu: undefined symbol: Gpm_Wgetch

this error puzzles me. I attempted using trace, i get the error on the first
assingment statement. I tried printing values to find out where this error
occurs, i get the error on the first print statement *if it is before the first
assignment statement*

I know "getch" is a conio.h ( in windows ) C function that waits for a user to
type a key but what is Gpm_Wgetch? is this a problem with my code or something
else like my system libraries or what?

I run Linux Mandrake 6.1 with euphoria in /usr/local/euphoria and EUDIR env
variable set correctly.

This is not an error issued by exu itself.
It sounds like it comes from the dynamic linker
in the operating system. You might have an old
version of GPM (mouse) server.
Do you always get this error?

no, this is the first time its every happened. The iterpreter crashes before its
finnished. I will try to run other programs and get download the newest version
of gpm and then get back to you with the results.

Downloading and installing the newest gpm package worked.
perhaps after the translator is done you could check out what is goin on with
the gpm errors and get that fixed for other people that have the older gpm.

thanks rob

Gpm_Wgetch is a function in libgpm.so.
try typing nm /usr/lib/libgpm.so | less
to see if that functioni exists. (It should be near the top of the list)
If it does, then perhaps libgpm.so is not being loaded.  Try running
ldconfig /usr/lib/libgpm.so (as root).
man ldconfig explains what this does.
