Easy to check, type echo $PATH at the prompt, you should see something like: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin/:/home/irv/bin:/home/irv/euphoria/bin (replace the irv with your user name) I sometimes forget to log out and back in again after making changes to .bash_profile. It only gets read nn login (or by doing a 'source .bash_profile') My .bash_profile contains the following: PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin PATH=$PATH:$HOME/euphoria/bin EUDIR=$HOME/euphoria EUINC=$HOME/euphoria/include/gtk2 GDK_USE_XFT=1 export PATH EUDIR EUINC GDK_USE_XFT The lines containing gtk and GDK will be useful if you use EuGTK. The only other thing to check is to see who the owner of exu is. Hope that helps. Irv
