As you've noted there seems to be a trick I'm unaware of. this is the ex.err file <pre> /usr/euphoria/include/gtk/main.e:52 type_check failure, eugtk is 0 Global & Local Variables /usr/euphoria/include/get.e: input_file = input_string = string_next = ch = /usr/euphoria/include/gtk/wrapper.e: homogeneous_ = 0 spacing_ = 0 context = 0 group = 0 /usr/euphoria/include/machine.e: check_calls = 1 /usr/euphoria/include/gtk/main.e: gdk = 134819288 gtk = 134832088 eugtk = 0 Traced lines leading up to the failure: /usr/euphoria/include/gtk/wrapper.e:19 homogeneous_ = 0 /usr/euphoria/include/gtk/wrapper.e:20 spacing_ = 0 /usr/euphoria/include/gtk/wrapper.e:23 context = 0 -- declared widget /usr/euphoria/include/gtk/wrapper.e:26 group = 0 /usr/euphoria/include/machine.e:292 check_calls = 1 /usr/euphoria/include/gtk/main.e:50 gdk = open_dll("libgdk.so") /usr/euphoria/include/dll.e:34 return machine_func(M_OPEN_DLL, file_name) /usr/euphoria/include/gtk/main.e:16 if x = 0 then /usr/euphoria/include/gtk/main.e:19 return x != 0 /usr/euphoria/include/gtk/main.e:51 gtk = open_dll("libgtk.so") /usr/euphoria/include/dll.e:34 return machine_func(M_OPEN_DLL, file_name) /usr/euphoria/include/gtk/main.e:16 if x = 0 then /usr/euphoria/include/gtk/main.e:19 return x != 0 /usr/euphoria/include/gtk/main.e:52 eugtk = open_dll(libpath & "eugtk.so") /usr/euphoria/include/dll.e:34 return machine_func(M_OPEN_DLL, file_name) /usr/euphoria/include/gtk/main.e:16 if x = 0 then /usr/euphoria/include/gtk/main.e:17 puts(1,"Library not accessible!") /usr/euphoria/include/gtk/main.e:19 return x != 0 </pre> My $PATH is correct and I set my $EUDIR var also. Euphoria is located in /usr/euphoria... /gtk and /gdk are located in /usr/euphoria/include and the .so included with the lib is also in /usr/euphoria/include I'm using RedHat 7.2 and would be will to provide nearly any other information need to solve this problem and get eugtk to work. Any help you offer would be helpfull.

Most people have trouble with the links to libgdk and libgtk. Those are working for you. Eugtk.so is a small shared library I compiled. It should have been installed in your $HOME/euphoria/include directory. First, check to see if it is there. (Should be about 17.7 kbytes) Secondly, you might want to adjust line 53 in ../euphoria/include/gtk/main.e to be sure it points to eugtk.so. One addition you may want to make to main.e while you're there: line 22-24: global library gdk, gtk, gtkxmhtml, -- gtk libraries (NOTE ADDED gtkxmhtml) eugtk -- my own support library line 50-54: gdk = open_dll("libgdk.so") gtkxmhtml = open_dll("libgtkxmhtml.so") -- << ADDED gtk = open_dll("libgtk.so") eugtk = open_dll(libpath & "eugtk.so") This seems to be necessary on some people's computers, not on others. I don't know why, but is won't hurt anything. Regards, Irv

(/home/ron for example) That's ok, but you'll have to change the call in main.e from: eugtk = open_dll(libpath & "eugtk.so") to something that can find the file, for example: eugtk = open_dll("/usr/euphoria/include/eught.so") I prefer to keep all the Euphoria stuff in my own home directory. It doesn't take up much room, and I can change things without suddenly crashing other user's programs. Regards, Irv

Thanks Irv. As a direct result of all your hard work and your willingness to help me configure your work for my machine, I'm now happy to report that I'm able to use eugtk. However I did make one small change to your advice. instead of changing .... eugtk = open_dll(libpath & "eugtk.so") I changed ... constant libpath = getenv("HOME") & "/euphoria/include/" to ... constant libpath = getenv("EUDIR") & "/include/" in the set up documentation of euphoria it mentioned to set the $EUDIR. What else would it be for if not for situations like this? Any way I got a really cool program to start on. Thanks again. Ron_W
