1. DosLinux vs. Euphoria vs. libgpm

I've just installed DosLinux, wanting to try out Euphoria for Linux.
However, when I try to run Euphoria, I get a message about a missing
library, libgpm.so.1.  I searched my system, and sure enough, there is no
libgpm*.

I searched the mailing list, and it seems that several people were able to
run Euphoria under DosLinux with no problems.  I wonder why it doesn't work
on my system?

I went to the ftp site that the DosLinux author recommends for gcc, and from
there downloaded the only libgpm* that I could find,
"libgpmg1-dev_1_17_8-7.deb", and installed it via mc.  But, I still could
not get Euphoria to work, and got the same message.  Upon further
examination, it turns out that that libpgm.so.1 was not installed, only a
symbolic link to it, along with various other files, and a libgpm.a.  What
are 'a' files?  Can I create the libgpm.so.1 from libgpm.a?

Does anyone know where I can download a suitable libgpm for DosLinux?

Thanks for any help!
