1. muLinux problems
Last week I finally managed to install a mini linux system, and got
exu to at least show me the expected prompt. Much was amiss, though,
including no X, and after installing all that something else broke. At
that point I wiped it, tried ZipSlack, no chance, went back, installed
things more in the right order, all/most else now working, but exu
not. EG exZ gives me the expected "not found"; entering exu (and any
other, eg backendu) just return to the prompt.
So the OS is finding the file, just refusing to do anything (including
complain) with it.
Any ideas? Has anyone tried muLinux?
I guess I'll end up wiping again and trying another re-install, but
hopefully it don't hurt to ask. I can live with it as-is probably for
a week or more anyway.
Regards,
Pete

I don't know what exZ is but if it is a program how
are you running it? Like this?
./exZ
or like this
exu exZ
If it is the former, open the exZ file and make sure
that the first line reads
#! /path/to/exu
I like to install Euphoria in /usr/local so in my case
/path/to/exu will be /usr/local/euphoria/exu
If you run exZ like this...
exu exZ
make sure that exu is in your $PATH. (echo $PATH)
Finally, don't forget to export your EUDIR var and
your TERM=ansi var. If these things aren't the issue
I would be happy to continue to help troubleshooting.
Let me know.

I've used many different distros but not this one. I
usually prefer a Slackware or Debian based distro but
feel I can work with any flavor of Linux (or *nix for
that matter.)

Hi Pete
I haven't personally used MuLinux (or maybe I have, I'm sure I've 'looked' at
it) but if it is based on uClibc then I do know I had trouble trying to
incorporate Euphoria into a uClibc based floppy due to the compression of the exu
binary.
Maybe try the uncompressed exu, or make sure there is enough space in /tmp for
the decompression and/or the file permissions are correct for the /tmp directory
(chmod 1777 /tmp) and that the environment variable TMP is getting set to that
location.

exZ does not exist. Here is a session transcript:
/# exZ
exZ: not found
/# exu
/# rm /euphoria/bin/exu
/# exu
exu: not found
/# ecu
/# chmod -x /euphoria/bin/exu
/# ecu
ecu: permission denied
/#
It is as if the first/only instruction in exu is 'exit'.
The OS finds it, but won't do anything with it.
No error message, nothing, just redisplay the prompt.
Nothing in varlogs either. I tried reinstalling in /usr/local,
and setting TERM to ansi, no difference.
Maybe I imagined it running fine last week....

The Libc is not compatible with the one muLinux uses .
Try Puppy Linux (50mB) on cd that works in win98/winXP/on his self
