Re: edbi on 64 bit machines?

I did a complete reinstall of linux the same day I installed the 64bit euphoria libraries rom DownloadEuphoria. When I first installed it the Ubuntu distribution package manager installed it. After that I needed to reinstall with the new package (Matt's). I 'rm -r /usr/share/euphoria' and un-tared the new tar archive (Matt's) and added back in the edbi code. Perhaps I have done something wrong and will try it again.
Deleting /usr/share/euphoria would get rid of the std library, but not the binaries. The package manager would put them into /usr/bin. My eubin upload was just a gzipped tarball.
I have my system set up to be able to use multiple versions of euphoria. For the purpose of dog fooding, I generally have the latest 64-bit version of euphoria from the structs branch. I also have all of the 4.0 releases set up in their own directories (in my home dir).
I have a separate directory set up that's in my path where I keep symlinks that go to the actual binaries. The symlinks include the release version, so I have eui404, euc403, etc, which makes it easy to test things with different versions. That's probably more than most people need.
