1. strange linux problem
I'm in a directory which contains exu and some .exu files. I type:
# ./exu ./foo.exu ./bar.exu
then bash complains about the syntax of the euphoria script in ./bar.exu.
If I type:
# ./exu ./foo.exu 10
sh: line 1: 10: command not found
What is going on, and how can I make it understand that the second thing is also
an argument?
Now it seems to think that it is a bash scripting command or path to a bash
script!

Alexander,
I have very little experience with Linux, but have you tried it like this:
# ./exu foo.exu 10
without using the ./ in front of the program name?
Later.

Hi
This looks to me like a combination of bash / exu / path probs
Thoughts
exu treats all command line arguments as parameters to your programs, so in
other
words you are passing bar.exu as an argument to foo. And also 10, which I
don't fully understand.
Try enclosing the arguments (in various combinations for what you want to
achieve
in quotes.
eg ./exu "./foo.exu 10"
or ./exu ./foo.exu "10"
and see what happens
If, in the first case, you are trying to execute two eu programs, one after
the other, you need to type
./exu ./foo.exu : ./exu ./bar.exu
Another thing, its slightly lower security, but you could set your path
environment variable to include '.', that way bash will look in the current
directory. However don't use this on a security conscious machine.
eg in .Profile
$PATH=$PATH;.
export PATH
This will
allow you to use the current directory in your command, eg instead of
./exu ./foo.exu
exu foo.exu
