Hi
Sorry you're having a bad newcomer experience. Current newcomers to programming expect (rightly so IMHO) everything to just be installed and work, whereas the old timers (myself included) and Linux programmers struggled to get things to work, as that was part of the appeal of computers and programming. This is one of my frustrations that hopefully is being currently addressed, so that there will be soon a complete package to download. in the meantime

http://jean-marc.duro.pagesperso-orange.fr/euphoria64.zip
are eminently functional - see http://openeuphoria.org/forum/128040.wc?last_id=128094 for details.
For the context highlighter (and hopefully this won't be necessary soon with the adding of WEE to the install package (at least this is my hope), it looks like the page was dropped. The highlighter for context can be found at http://www.contexteditor.org/highlighters/ and search for Euphoria. I chose Context as an example because its free, configurable and functional, but WEE definitely has the edge on it as far as Eu programming goes.
Do persevere with the language, we are a very helpful albeit small community, and there will always be someone to help answer even the seemingly most stupid of questions.
