 A namespace qualifier is needed to resolve 'get'because 'get' is declared as a global/public symbol in:    ./GtkEngine.e 
    /usr/share/euphoria/include/std/get.e                                                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                                                           
    filename = get(dlgSaveDiet,"filename")  

As the message suggests....qualify the use of get() with a namespace.

I assume that you're trying to use the get() defined in EuGTK. If EuGTK defines a default namespace, then you could use that. Otherwise, you'll need to do something like:

include eugtk.e as gtk 
 ... 
filename = gtk:get(dlgSaveDiet,"filename") 

A default namespace is declared at the top of a file. It must be the first non-comment euphoria statement:

-- file foo.e 
 
namespace foo 
 

That allows users to use the foo namespace qualifier without needing to specify their own. The standard library does this. For get.e, the namespace is stdget.
