1. ecu, SuSE 10 64 bit
Hi
Problem report
Translating an exu file with ecu, then compiling and linking,
then running the file produces a segmentation fault.
Output of emake/linking object files would seem to indicate that ncurses static
library is incompatible with linking with object files compiled with 64 bit
GCC ver 4.02
This is surprising, as gcc and the ncurses libraries are both installed from
the installation DVD (downloaded from opensuse)
I shall do some more investigating, but suspect that this may actually be
the beginning of the end of statically linked ncurses in general linux
programs any way.
Even more reason to look forward to the ncurses free Euphoria.
As an aside, having just installed SuSE 10, its a breeze, runs like a charm,
KDE is beautiful, the only downside being mp3 / mpeg support, which you have to
get from other sources.
Exu runs fine when TERM=xterm, or TERM=linux, but for some reason corrupts the
display when running a bound file if TERM=xterm - easy enough to fix, just
run from a script, adding the line export TERM=linux. Suspect this goes back
to ncurses again.

I'm thinking about trying SUSE 10.1 because YaST sounds really nice. Kcontrol is
ok but YaST seems to offer everything. SUSE will also become LSB compliant as
will Ubuntu.
My only concern is the number of RPM packages available in SUSE repositories. On
Ubuntu I have as many as 17,830 packages to choose from. Does SUSE have a simular
amount?

Vincent

Thanks for the info.
Hopefully I'll get a non-ncurses Euphoria out soon.

Hi
Heh heh, sorry vincent, I have absolutely no idea. Even if I didn't sleep, and
only spent 1 minute installing and using / evaluating a package, I would still
be at it for over 12 solid days (thats 1 minute, installing and using). LOL.
The way I tend to things, wait for a problem to appear, or an experiment to
sugggest itself (why, only this afternoon, I installed win95 on my new SuSE10 box
under qemu), then find a solution. Even if its not on the SuSE DVD (5 cds), then
I can usually find something on the net.
And thats the beauty of Linux - if you don't like what you install, you can
always get your money back. I'll stick with SuSE, because its such a breeze to
install, although I have heard 'some god things' about Ubuntu.

Hi Chris,
I looked into it.
There are about 5000 packages in the default YaST repositories. However there
are several third party repositories as well as RPM sites for thousands more.
Basically you'll find what your looking for on SUSE, you just might have to look
harder sometimes than with Debian.
I think I'll try SUSE 10.1. I can pick up a install DVD for about $10 plus
shipping.
Regards,
Vincent

Did you get a chance to try XMOTOR on Ubuntu ?
Also does it work on 64 bit Linux ?

Hi Bernie
I can get xmotor (x_* and a_*) running, on an out of the box install of SuSE
only by fiddling with the libraries (again) (libX11.so, libdl.so etc), but I must
confess to have given up rather quickly. The widget set is rather unattractive,
and as much as I appreciate the obviously very knowledgable degree of effort that
went into coding those demos. they are just way to complicated for me to want to
do anything 'simply' with them.
I'll stick with GTK2 for the gui toolkit of choice for Linux for now, absolutely
no disrespect intended.

Chris:
Thank You for the information.
The m_ demos are more advance motif type widgets.
Just a reminder that GTK2 is written in C++ which makes it
much easier to access the same libraries.
XMOTOR is strictly written using Euphoria only code.
