I just downloaded Eu, and installed it using Ark - it put the euphoria
folder
in my home directory, with me as the owner.
Then I tried using tar -xvf , same results.
I guess you must have used some other program to unpack the files,
and that program was set to preserve the owners, groups, and
permissions.

I'm guessing you aren't actually running any, if all you're getting is
that error.
Set your environment variable $BROWSER to whatever web browser you
use, and EuGTK will pop up a web page explaining what library is
missing.
It will say something like this: ( I forced this error by trying to load
a non-existent
library "Xlibgdk_imlib.so.1")
An error was encountered when trying to run euGTK
Attempting to open standard shared libraries

If you do not have this library installed,BR>please install it from CD
or download from rpmfind.net
Be sure the libraries listed match the versions you have installed.
If not, open /euphoria/include/gtk/main.e and change the library name to
match
(around line 95..100)
If you have all those libraries, perhaps you need to run (as root)
ldconfig -v
to register the libraries.

I loaded up enlightenment just to check, and all programs look very much
like
they should, except of course for the weird enlightenment window
decorations.

Hope you aren't insulted by this question, but is it
possible that you followed the instructions in
install.html _verbatim_ ?
Quote:
For example, a user called rob might do the following:
PATH=/home/rob/euphoria/bin:$PATH
You must also add a line for the variable EUDIR such
as:
EUDIR=/home/rob/euphoria
And remember to export these variables:
export PATH EUDIR
end quote;
Because whatever these variables are set to, that's
where euphoria looks for the includes.

Irv -
no prob, you were right. SHouldn't have been trying to install that at
3 in the morning ;)
As for Eugtk I need a library I guess. Problem is that I can't find a
non rpm package for it. Is there anyway you could send me one in a
tarball? I need:
libgtkxmhtml.so.1
If you could send it to bleak_outlook at hotmail.com I would really
appreciate it. I have tried installing RPM on the computer but it has
driven me insane and every howto for installing RPM assumes that you
already have an old version present. :(
Thanks alot for all the help and I anticipate trying out your wrapper,
Steve

I'll send it - however, it's only there for future
expansion, so you can for now just comment out
the call to load that library. It's found around
line 98 in /euphoria/gtk/main.e,
Do that, and everything should work ok.

Thanks for the help, everything is working great now. I am a bit of a
noob to linux (~6months) and this was my first real attempt at
programming through it, thanks for the patience.

No problem. Once you get into it, I think you'll find
that programming on the Linux platform is _way_ easier
than with Windows. Plus you can make all kinds
of silly mistakes without having the whole machine
come crashing down.
By the way, the only way I can find out what necessary
functions I forgot to add to EuGTK is for someone to
try to use those functions. So if you can't figure
something out, ask. I'll either tell you how it can be
done with existing functions, or try to add that
function to the library.

Irv
