Wonderful Euphoria but lacks install bundled packages

This is my first post to the community. For the last five years I have been trying to decide what programming language to use on the pc. That time was of course just random as I only spend a few hours every month of so. I was looking at euphoria about 4 years ago but at that time Euphoria had low ratings when compared to the other basic languages, and I was a bit overwhelmed trying to pick through the large archive of Euphoria files to test what would be good to have for my programming time. After all the years of study of about 200 languages, Euphoria and BCX were my top picks. Both have a to C translation and both are easy to learn and somewhat fast to compile programs. Yet, I have now decided that I will use euphoria because of a large and active forum and a better community. I congratulate the founder of Euphoria for the efforts, time and dedication that is continuously going into the wonderful Euphoria project. I am still overwhelmed trying to put together a package. Win32Lib programs do not seem to compile as fast as wxEuphoria programs, but I am sure there is a compiler that I can use other then the default. WxIDE in the SVN does not seem to work with the latest wxEuphoria programs in win32. I find that I am wasting time trying to put things together. I believe that euphoria would be much more popular if only some bundled packages would be make available. I am now hampered between wxEuphoria and Win32Lib. That program would have a chatroom for the members to discuss the various things within the program. I am using win98 and I am asking if someone can help me to put a package together so that I can begin the programming. wxEuphoria and Win32Lib are my two picks. I am able to install Win32Lib but it compiles slow in the Enhanced IDE and as I said wxEuphoria does not work for me with the latest files of wxIDE from SVN. wxEuphoria works with more than one OS that my program could run under, that is if it was not for the wxIDE. Win32Lib is only for windows but the Enhanced IDE is great. So maybe someone could help me pick a compiler to use with the Enhanced IDE or put together a workable wxIDE package.
