1. LNX: makes me so think that I can't mad straight
I'm in linux mode. Trying to run some examples in
the eugtk library made by Irv Mullins.
error message:
"Library not accessible!
/home/jstory/euphoria/include/gtk/main.e:57
type_check failure, gtk is 0"
Line 57 in main.e is:
gtk = open_dll("libgtk.so")
libgtk.so is in /usr/lib/
Why is libgtk.so not accessible?
I copied it to /home/jstory/euphoria/include.gtk
Still not accessible.

Hi Jerry,
Are you useing Irv's latest GTK wrapper lib?
http://www.rapideuphoria.com/eugtk.tgz
I believe it uses eugtk.so ( instead of libgtk.so
)which goes in /euphoria/include/
If you tar -xvz -f Irv's latest lib from your home
directory it will install everything correctly.
Which Linux distribution are you running?

Browse your /usr/lib directory, preferably using Konqueror, and put the
cursor on libgtk.so.
Look at the status line at the bottom of the window - you should see
something like
libgtk.so->libgtk-1.2.so.0.9.1 Shared library (Link)
That's a link to the real libgtk, so copying it won't help.
Make sure the file it points to is a real file (about 1.3 megs)
Also, it won't hurt to run ldconfig -v (run this as root) which
rebuilds all links. You should get a report on the screen verifying
the links.
Beyond that, I don't know what the problem might be. Can you run any programs
that use gtk?

Irv

Wish it were so, but eught.so is just a tiny wrapper for the built-in
GTK+ dialogs (file open, font and color select).
The full GTK and GDK libraries are still necessary.

I'd like to know that as well.

I'm using Mandrake. I think version 7.1.
It comes with 2 CDs; for some reason I have only one.
Maybe I'm missing some stuff.

Let me look......
If you have the same Mandrake 7.1 set as I have, there were 3 discs.
Disk one has the libraries:
mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/mdkinst/lib
You should be able to drag and drop these in /usr/lib, but you'll probably
have to link them manually.
man ln should give you directions on how to do this.
It could be that libgtk or libgdk call some other libraries that you don't
have, either. It may be better to do a fresh install. Opt for the development
station where it asks what kind of setup you want, you'll get lots of useful
stuff, along with the needed libraries.
