Oh, God, no!!!!!!   Not another grammar thread!

We dont' have no problems here with grammar.++  (Two pluses appended to the
end to negate the double negative and thus make this sentence grammatically
correct.)

Ahem.  Anyway.  I've still got the same problem I had a couple days ago with
accessing Linux .so files from Euphoria.  I don't bore you with the details
again, but the problem is basically that I cannot seem to get Euphoria to
access libgtk.so.  After a little reading and poking around, I've found that
/usr/lib does not *appear* to me on my path (according to the .bash_profile
file in my home directory).  I'm not sure this would have anything to do
with the problem, as I've also tried to access the .so by giving it as an
absolute filename in open_dll().

As far as permissions and ownership is concerned, I executed chmod 744 on
the file as well, without result.  However, when logged in as Travis, I'm
allowed to *read* most of the .so's in that directory, which I'm pretty sure
is what Euphoria is trying to do.  Would there be any reason for Euphoria to
try to *write* something?  I don't see why it would, but I'm grasping at
straws here, too.

So, at this point I'm sitting in my life boat slapping at all the sharks.
