Sorry about the empty message.
Bernie, I believe I have followed your instructions
regarding ldconfig to the letter. And by the way,
thanks for that little tutorial :)
Unfortunately, XMOTOR still doesn't run for me.
I did find libx11.so.6 and libx11.so.6.2 in:
usr/X11R6/lib/
Will xmotor use either of these files?
Regards,
3. Re: XMOTOR
Hi
a_*.exu, and x_*.exu worked fine, m_* didn't, on SuSE 7.1, and SuSE 9.1.
m_*.exu reported not being able to find libX11m (I think).
Just as an aside, Athena and motif widgets are very old, and very basic widgets.
Have you considered wrapping the xforms lib
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/xforms/
I would give it a go, but I'm just so slow, and crammed up to the eyeballs with
other stuff.

I notice that libx11.so.6 and libx11.so.6.2 are using LOWERCASE x
instead of UPPERCASE X above if this is the case maybe your
symbolic-link libx11.so is using a LOWERCASE x
that may be why XMOTOR can't find it maybe it has something to do
with SuSE ?
Anyway if that is the case then try going into include file
called x11lib.eu and at the top change library("libX11.so")
to library("libx11.so")
The library built-in functions xcolor() xcustomcolor()
won't work because they are internally using "libX11.so"
but that will not prevent you from running demos.

The demos m_notebk.exu and m_text.eu use Motif which uses "libXm.so"
You might search your sytem for that link.
I didn't want to use xforms or other libraries because I want to use
libraries that come on most newer versions of Linux. That way the
user would'nt have to download other libraries to use euphoria
to write x-programs.

It is compiled using RDS licensed C source code which
doesn't have il-decoder. Binder and this il-decoder
both are RDS secret.
So bilingual EU interpreter is as fast as official EU
interpreter, but can not run il-files. It supports
translation into standard English EU code, so I can
bind my code or translate/compile it using E2C,
but I must run il-files or use shrouded libs
with the official RDS interpreter only.
Do not worry, any one can run XMOTOR as it is,
official RDS interpreter is PD.

Try doing this:
As root, cd /usr/lib
$ ln -s libX11.so /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
(note the case)

Thanks for all your help, Bernie, but,
still doesn't work:
linux:/usr/X11R6/lib # ln -s libX11.so /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6' to `libX11.so': File
exists
exists
Could placing /usr/X11Rb/lib/ in my path help?
I think I had a problem like this before and someone on the SuSE mailing
list suggested that - and it worked. I believe it was for Java - could
be wrong, but it was something that I hadn't ever had to install a path
to before - at least with Mandrake Linux. I'll give it a try anyway.
And if doesn't work, I'll post a query to the SuSE help list.
However, if you have any more ideas I'm always open to suggestions.
Something is obviously awry - jetvetsql doesn't work either.
Thanks again,

Your link command is backwards. If you're in the /usr/X11R6/lib directory, then
do this:
ln -s libX11.so.6 libX11.so

ldconfig should set up /etc/ld.so.cache to find it. /usr/X11R6/lib should be in
/etc/ld.so.conf for ldconfig to check it.

Hi
This is very puzzling.
It seems this issue applies to both the sqlite libraries and the Lib x11
libraries. So just to recap
There is no reference on my system path to /usr/lib.
I always run ldconfig after installing a new library.
You have checked the case of the libraries installed.
In the case of sqlite, you checked that there is a symlink pointing to
sqlite-3.3.4.so (sqlite3.so) in /usr/lib.
Just as an experiment, could you change the line in eusqlite3.ew (line 175)
from
sqlite3_dll = open_dll("sqlite-3.0.8.so")
to
sqlite3_dll = open_dll("sqlite-3.3.4.so")
or whatever the library name you installed into /usr/lib
Note, this is a console based application, and no other libraries are required
to make it run. Incidentally, you aren't double clicking on jetvet.exu from a
file manager are you?

BINGO! this worked:
--sqlite-3.3.4.so
global atom sqlite3_dll
--if platform() = LINUX then sqlite3_dll = link_dll("sqlite-3.0.8.so")
if platform() = LINUX then sqlite3_dll = link_dll("sqlite-3.3.4.so")
else sqlite3_dll = link_dll("sqlite3.dll")
end if

Ken:
Did you see the last post by Elliott ?
Be sure to use proper case and sign in as root.
IF you are in the directory :
/usr/lib
THEN you need to use the command:
ln -s libX11.so /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
IF you are in the directory :
/usr/X11R6/lib
THEN you need to use the command:
ln -s libX11.so /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
You were trying to set the link backwards.

Hi, Bernie,
Yes, I saw Elliotts post and followed his instructions
- alas, to no avail.
I've tried again here as you can see: as root...
linux:/usr/X11R6/lib # ls libX11*
libX11.so. libX11.so.6 libX11.so.6.2
linux:/usr/X11R6/lib # ln -s libX11.so /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6' to `libX11.so': File
exists
linux:/usr/X11R6/lib #
exu x_demo.exu
Can not open library libX11.so
I've obviously screwed up something on my system regarding X11, Royally.
I've posted this infor to the SuSE mailing list. Perhaps they'll be
able to straighten me out.
Frankly, I'm waiting for SuSE 10.1 to be released. However, I might
even switch back to Mandrake, particularly if Robert decides to use
Mandrake for Euphoria 3.0.
Thanks again to Bernie, Chris, Elliott and all who have tried to
help me resolve this problem.

Sorry, Bernie, I haven't had a chance yet. I've been living in database
dungeons for the past six months using ODBC or MySQL wrappers. I'm
definitely interested in the idea of your multi-level UI library, but I'm going
to have to hold off until I have a bit more time to play. I periodically go
through the contributions and pull everything for Linux, even if I'm not
going to use it for a while, so next time I do, I'll grab it. Keep up the
good work.
Mike
