I just downloaded Eu, and installed it using Ark - it put the euphoria 
folder 
in my home directory, with me as the owner. 
Then I tried using tar -xvf , same results. 
I guess you must have used some other program to unpack the files, 
and that program was set to preserve the owners, groups, and 
permissions.

I'm guessing you aren't actually running any, if all you're getting is 
that error.
Set your environment variable $BROWSER to whatever web browser you 
use, and EuGTK will pop up a web page explaining what library is 
missing.
It will say something like this: ( I forced this error by trying to load 
a non-existent  
library "Xlibgdk_imlib.so.1")

An error was encountered when trying to run euGTK

If you do not have this library installed,BR>please install it from CD 
or download from rpmfind.net 

Be sure the libraries listed match the versions you have installed. 
If not, open /euphoria/include/gtk/main.e and change the library name to 
match 
(around line 95..100)

If you have all those libraries, perhaps you need to run (as root) 
ldconfig -v
to register the libraries.

I loaded up enlightenment just to check, and all programs look very much 
like 
they should, except of course for the weird enlightenment window 
decorations.
