1. slackware 4.0
Hi everybody.
Its seems that Irv is right, that exu will not run under Slackware 4.0
My machine is not spitting back cannot find file, etc. anymore...but I
finally found a copy of .bash_profile on my machine, and modified it like
irv and several others of you (Thank You!) showed me, and now when I run any
of the programs including .exu, it just sits there and up prompts another
bash prompt. I haven't checked yet to see if it is adding processes or
anything like that, but it appears the supposition of Linux compiled with
libc6 is incompatible.
As this type of compilation of Linux appears to be the next step in
Linux, does that mean that you will be compiling it with this library Rob?
(I downloaded ZipSlack 4.0 while I was asleep and it is 39 megs and runs
easily from a Dos prompt. It requires no reformating or fdisking or any of
that, as it runs in a UMSDOS partition right inside of a Dos directory).
In the mean time, I will be attempting to put an older copy onto another
Hard Disk Drive.

PS The errors of no such file found stopped when I upgraded versions of EXU
it appears.

I use SuSE 6.1 (beta) which is also compiled with libc6 and have no problem
with it.

Maybe the UMSDOS-partition is mount read-only and Euphoria has to write
sometimes something to disk? Or maybe Euphoria runs out of memory; since you
said it runs right from the DOS-prompt (I suppose with loadlin) and you
haven't partitioned your HD again, you probably don't have a
Linux-swapfile-partition, which will be used when you run out of memory.
Another possibility is that you don't have the rights to execute programs
from your UMSDOS-partition. Check your /etc/fstab for the settings.

Well, thats good news I think.

It set itself up for just this kind of operation. I have had no problem at
all unzipping programs, running midnight commander, and installing and
running xwindows. I think that running ed.exu shouldn't tax it too much
should it?

It seems to have some small swap files setup, although I have a 200 mhz
machine and 32 megs of ram, it shouldn't just drop me back to a bash prompt
should it?
