Hi Pete

I haven't personally used MuLinux (or maybe I have, I'm sure I've 'looked' at
it) but if it is based on uClibc then I do know I had trouble trying to
incorporate Euphoria into a uClibc based floppy due to the compression of the exu
binary.

Maybe try the uncompressed exu, or make sure there is enough space in /tmp for
the decompression and/or the file permissions are correct for the /tmp directory
(chmod 1777 /tmp) and that the environment variable TMP is getting set to that
location.
