The question is how you executed it.
Try this :
        change to the directory containing exu
        e.g. $ cd /usr/euphoria/bin
        execute exu in the current directory
        e.g. $ ./exu
With DOS when you enter the name of an executable, it first looks in the current
directory,
then it searches the PATH variable.

Linux only searches the PATH variable.
Edit your /etc/profile file.
        e.g. $ jed /etc/profile
This file contains all your basic configuration data.
Add ./ to the start of the PATH variable
        e.g. PATH=./:/rest/bin/
        ( If there is no PATH add
                PATH=./
                export PATH
        )
If you install euphoria you will probablely wish to add it to your path
        e.g. PATH=./:/rest/bin/:/usr/euphoria/bin/
        if you place it in /usr/euphoria
