source_sink `library(lineutils)' does not exist

When I try to compile a prolog file, in eclipse with the prodt plugin it gives me this error:   

source_sink `library(lineutils)'does not exist

the project was not created by me, but it is a university project, I don't know where to find this library, which seems to be from YAP. I use SWI Prolog. Is there a way to solve this problem?

Solution

  • From a quick glance to the library source code, it seems that it's compatible with SWI-Prolog. You can copy the library/lineutils.yap from the YAP distribution to your SWI-Prolog installation and use it from there. If you copy the file to same place where SWI-Prolog keeps its libraries, you can load it using the same directive:

    :- use_module(library(lineutils)).

    Otherwise, you can copy it to your application directory and then load it using simply:

    :- use_module(lineutils).
