1. Euphoria, libc6?
Rob: Is Euphoria compiled for libc6 systems?
It seems older, libc5 distros cannot run Euphoria. The latest Slackware is
still libc5 as well.

Yes, I'm using something called libc.so.6
on Red Hat 5.2. I wonder what the difference is.
I guess more distros will eventually move to libc6,
and the problem will go away.

libc* contains the standard libraries that are used by multiple programs
on the system. In order to save disk space and memory, as well as to
ease upgrades, common system code is kept in one place and shared
between programs. The most important sets of shared libraries, the
standard C library and the standard math library are included. Without
these, a Linux system will not function.
libc6 is an updated version of the libc5 libraries, and, unfortunately,
they are not compatible.
Slackware still uses libc5 and Debian has just released the first stable
glibc2 distribution (libc6)
