I've just got my second machine up and runnig with Debian linux - and I'm still a newbie as far as KDE, etc goes!! I've untar'd the Euphoria stuff into a folder in my Home directory (with all subfolders, etc), I have my PATH and EUDIR showing correctly from a shell window (after rebooting even) and I go into the Tutorials folder for Euphoria. I type 'exu hello.e' (without quotes) and get the message "Can't open xterm"!! Even though I'm in an XTerm window (as the Root user). Can anyone give me, and as info for others, a step by step guide about how to set up and test Euphoria under Linux? Basic install How to do file associations under KDE (woudl be nice!) How to make a 'double-click' on a .exu file run correctly (as opposed to loading into an editor!) How to Bind and make 'double-clickable' executables Something detailed would be a useful thing to have as a page on the RapidEuphoria site, 'cos searching the forum doesn't yield much useful results. I guess it was just too easy to do under Windows ;) and I was expecting a similar approach under Linux. BTW, I also have a second WinXP machine, so you can probably guess I'm going to be doing some cross-platform development as soon as I can get Eu to work :) . .. : :: = == == = :: : .. .
