I'm trying to run prolog from terminal. I have installed version 7.2.2 and added it to my environment path using the command:
PATH=$PATH:/Applications/SWI-Prolog.app/Contents/MacOS
Then to get started I typed
swipl
but this error gets returned instead:
Illegal instruction: 4
I am new to this, kindly help me out. I know I can run the application by double clicking on it but I'm more comfortable working from the terminal..
My Mac version is Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
I removed the GUI version in my applications folder. Don't need it to run SWI-Prolog from command line. Simply go to terminal window and type in:
brew tap homebrew/x11
after the above command executes, enter:
brew install swi-prolog --HEAD
and now swipl should work:
Maryams-MacBook-Pro:~ maryam$ swipl
returns
