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. Chris

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? Regards, Vincent

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

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

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.
