1. Euphoria 2.4 interpreter bundled with 2.4?

Has anyone gotten the 2.5 alpha to work in Linux? 
I downloaded the 2.5 interpreter today (euphor25.tar), extracted it, set the
paths and ran it by typing:
  $ exu
I get:
  Euphoria Interpreter 2.4 for Linux.
  Copyright (c) Rapid Deployment Software 2003
  Permission is freely granted to anyone to copy and
  redistribute this Public Domain Edition of Euphoria.
Now that in itself isn't that bad (minor typo) but when I try to run ed.ex I
get:
  /usr/local/euphoria/include/get.e:347
  Syntax error - expected to see an expression, not an illegal character
        return answer[1..$-1] -- trim the \n
So the libraries are up to date but the interpreter seems to be 2.4.
Anyone know what's up?

(Also, another bug that should be fixed is when I run the file in a directory I
don't have write access to it doesn't print any diagnostic information just
"Can't create error message file: ex.err". Shouldn't you print the error message
and then try to write the file out?)

I have the 2.5a interpreter running under Mandrake Linux 10.1

Did you log out completely and then log back in after setting
the path? If you had a previous version of Euphoria installed
it would be a good idea to rename the 2.4 directory, rather
than install over it.

Hope this helps,

Yes.  It seems you're running into the same problem I did.  Rename the
2.4 version as exu.old or something like that, fix your PATH and EUDIR
exports and you should be fine.
