  Yes, and that seems to be a legitimate syntax error.  What are the
versions of these images?  I tried it on the latest Etoys on my Fedora
9 and it seems to be working as it should be, if I start from
DrGeoII.pr and not -buggy.pr one.  Yes, I saved the project file with
some content on Fedora 9 with fully updated etoys-dev.image, and
restart the image and load the project and it worked.  (and arcTan2:
method is there.)

  The linux installation from the site may have a problem.  And what
is the language setting of your Linux installation?

  The image files won't be bit-identical, even on the same platform.
But it shouldn't cause any problem.

  It should not require any special primitive.
