In Euphoria for Linux, the ~ character apparently doesn't work. I
created a program in my home directory called test.exu:
integer f
f = open("~/test.exu","r")
if f = -1 then
puts(1,"f = -1\n")
abort(0)
end if
close(f)
When I run it, it displays f = -1.

I believe the '~' character is a special feature of
the Linux shell that you are using. It's not a part
of the underlying file system, so it doesn't
mean anything to the open() command.
~ seems to be equivalent to $HOME
so you could do:
tilde = getenv("HOME")
f = open(tilde & "/test.exu", "r")
