1. open_dll won't

Hi:

I have run a test, trying to 'open_dll' each of the *.so files in /usr/lib....
138 out of 300 will not open. I have created two lists, 
one of those which will open, and another of those which won't.

Both good files and bad share the same permissions, 
running 'nm' on each list shows that some on each list have symbols, 
some do not.  

Running 'file' on each list shows the same file types: i.e:
/usr/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0.5.2: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, 
     Intel 80386, version 1, stripped  

Needless to say, the gtk files are on the 'bad' list. I can write C programs 
that use gtk without problem, but I would like to use Euphoria.
Dave had gtk working with Euphoria, but I can't unless I can  load the
libraries.  How did you do it, Dave?

Just out of curiosity, are you running your test as root?  This evening, I was
going to set up Euphoria to run as root and see if I get the same problem.

The problem is, if "running as root" is the only way Euphoria GTK apps can run,
it
might very well knot the shorts of anyone trying to use my apps ...

No, I get the same results as root.  I think it must be a bug in Euphoria for 
Linux, since so many of the files are unusable. Some of the same files 
work fine when I wrile C programs which call them.
