Firstly, learn that it is important to stay in a thread, and not to destroy
our other threads. The thread where your problem is discussed is "problems
with install". Let the other threads alone!!
Secondly, learn to quote: http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html
Thirdly, it doesn't make sense that you write any Euphoria program, when
you are not sure whether Euphoria is properly installed on your system.
Anything regarding the installation is explained comprehensive in the docs.
When you encounter problems, ask _specific_ questions.

Juergen

Hi Juergen, maybe I do it all wrong but this is in the quote, is't it?
Why i got errors when starting a example? The meaning of an example is that it
works!
special when you are a beginner, like me.
See the other answers to my question and maybe you know what is the problem.
thanks anyway for answering.
Regards, Dirk

Irv (and all),
please don't reply to him in this thread. Or at least change the subject
accordingly. If anyone writes anything in any thread, this forum will
become almost unreadable.

And such a good example of why people should include ALL the required

No, there is no quote in your post. I bet you did _not_ read _carefully_
<http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html>, although I repeatedly
told you to do so.
You _must_ learn, that even in electronic communication, there are some
rules. Also, you have to learn to _read_ _carefully_, for instance the
dfference between "eupora","euphora" and "euphoria". Otherwise you will
never be able to _write_ anything meaningful, whether it is a program or
something else.

The problem is obviously, that you did not read/follow the installation
instructions carefully. And yes: EUINC is not the same as EUDIR.
BTW: How old are you?

I really can;t find in the instructions how to start a new thread.

dirk, don't fret about it. generally, there's not enough traffic here
to warrant strict adherance to all the posting rules. some people just
go crazy for silly reasons.
if you haven't already, read some of the tutorials that have gone up
recently. one is at my site, http://www.cklester.com/books/jubilation/.
Derek Parnell (manager of Win32Lib) has one at
http://www.users.bigpond.com/ddparnell/ProgrammingTutorial/default.htm.
Chris Burch's includes some installation info:
http://members.aol.com/chriscrylex/euphoria.htm
Here's a place for mentoring:
http://uboard.proboards32.com/index.cgi?board=Pupils
And of course this forum is populated by many friendly and willingly
helpful people. Just ask.

Hi Dirk
You look like a newby to me - looks like you're trying to run before you can
walk. There was a recent discussion here re helping newbies - try these.

Don't worry about it. Other than one or two 'posting police', most of us
here are just interested in the questions and answers. I, for one, don't
have any problem with posts which are 'off topic', if I did, I would not
read 90% of the messages here, because they invariably drift off-topic
rather quickly. I can read fast enough that it is no great imposition
if I must read the entire post.
Now, as for Euphoria, I use it, and have for 5 or 6 years, in commercial
work, when it fits the task. Bear in mind, however, that when it comes
to Windows (or xWindows or GTK), those libraries are NOT supported by
the creator of Euphoria, they're all contributed by users. Therefore,
there is no real control over compatibility, versioning, etc. other
than what those contributors choose to exercise. So you may expect to
find things which do not work together. It's good to ask on this
list about such things.
You will also understand that, since this is a tool for programmers,
a certain level of general computer expertise is assumed. And bear
in mind that many of the people on this list have installed Euphoria
numerous times (I have done perhaps 50 installs) and we know from
experience that the basic setup does work, and is quite simple.
So perhaps you can understand why some might be dubious when someone
says they followed the directions but it doesn't work.
Regards,
Irv

Hi Juergen,
may I kindly suggest that you count to ten, take a few deep breaths,
go for a jog, walk the dog, have a cup of good coffee, etc....
Maybe it would be better to help new comers to learn rather than come down
all heavy on them for not following the un-enforcible 'rules' of good
usenet ettiquette.
I'm not trying to be critical, but suggesting that a bit more tolerance
might be more useful in the long run.

While I believe there should always be gentle prodding in the right
direction of usenet etiquette, it is only polite after all, I agree
that, tonight, a handful appear to have gone psychotic over it.
