It sounds like Puppy Linux uses a different file system layout than Debian,
which is what the .deb file assumes.  It will put (or try to, anyway--
not sure what Puppy Linux might do with it) a default config file in
/etc/euphoria, and that's where the interpreter will look.

As Chris said, you can also create one in your home directory, which is
probably sufficient, especially if you're the only one on the system
who will use euphoria.  One advantage over environment variables is that
it's easy to modify the file, and you don't have to log out before the
changes take effect.
