I've recently installed debian 3.1 on my laptop, and today I tried to install and run euphoria on it. But even though I try to run it from the console, from the same directory, I keep getting the error "zsh: file or path couldn't be found: exu". If I run ls, it's there. I'm quite a linux newbie, so I don't know if everything is set up correctly. exu has got execution permissions. I don't know if I've set up my PATH:s correctly, but I don't think that would make zsh not found it. Regards, Alexander Toresson Shhh! Be vewy quiet! I'm hunting wuntime ewwows!

first try running it with a path name, to make sure it does work. for the current directory, that's a single dot, or the whole path if you're somewhere else -- current directory # ./exu -- somewhere else (obviously you're not greg) # /home/greg/euphoria/bin/exu if that works, then you know nothing is wrong, just that something is broken. i don't use Debian, never have. i've always stuck with RedHat or Mandrake, and now i use Fedora Core 2. though i think you'd still alter your .bash_profile file in your home directory and change the PATH variable. here's what i have in mine: -- begin .bash_profile EUDIR=/home/greg/euphoria EUINC=$EUDIR/include PATH=$EUDIR/bin:$PATH:$HOME/bin export PATH EUDIR EUINC -- end .bash_profile don't forget to export your variables!

Easy to check, type echo $PATH at the prompt, you should see something like: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin/:/home/irv/bin:/home/irv/euphoria/bin (replace the irv with your user name) I sometimes forget to log out and back in again after making changes to .bash_profile. It only gets read nn login (or by doing a 'source .bash_profile') My .bash_profile contains the following: PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin PATH=$PATH:$HOME/euphoria/bin EUDIR=$HOME/euphoria EUINC=$HOME/euphoria/include/gtk2 GDK_USE_XFT=1 export PATH EUDIR EUINC GDK_USE_XFT The lines containing gtk and GDK will be useful if you use EuGTK. The only other thing to check is to see who the owner of exu is. Hope that helps. Irv
