1. Installing Euphoria Under Linux
Incidentally, To the person considering Mandrake, I just did an Install
of it myself, and it installs like a dream. There are some issues I have
to work through yet, (like installing/updating software) but it's been
good so far.
And on that note, I am having difficulty with Euphoria under linux. No
matter what I try and do, exu (or pdexu for that matter) starts
executing (as seen by it's existance in the taskbar), However, even for
very simple programs (puts(1,"Worked\n")) it always has the Eggtimer
thing (sand moving from top to bottom, you know what I mean) and then it
just exits, without doing ANYTHING.
Firstly, my setup :
Running Intel campatable AMD Athlon
WinXP on NTFS partition
Mandrake 9.1 on Ext3
Fat32 Data partition (no OS on this partition)
I have both Euphoria for windows on this partition, as well as Euphoria
for Linux.
I can run euphoria for windows fine.
My Install Procedure :
Download PD Euphoria & extract to /mnt/win_d/LinEuphoria
rename exu to pdexu
Download Full Version Euphoria & extract to /mnt/win_d/LinEuphoria
Download the GTK include files and extract to /mnt/win_d/LinEuphoria/include
That's it.
Anything I am doing wrong?

It probably crashed with a run-time error. Use Run As on the euphoria
file, choose exu or pdexu and check the "Show Console" option. That way, you
can see the error and fix the problem. Then it should show the window, once
you get it working.
PS.
I'm not sure whtether it's called "Show Console", I haven't used Mandrake
in a while.

Try instead:
puts(1, "Worked\n")
if getc(0) then
end if
Or try running exu from a plain text-mode console.
If you are running exu in a console window within
a GUI environment, it might create a new window
and then close it so fast that you don't see the output.
On some versions of Linux/FreeBSD exu will prompt
with "Press Enter" at the end, but it might not work
like that on all systems. Your program may need to
prompt for input so you can see the output before
the window closes. exw is much the same.
Also, be careful not to type "ex". On my system,
there's an editor called "ex".
And check for any ex.err that may have been created.
