I'm trying to use the WordNet package for swi-prolog and I can't seem to be able to use it after install. I'm on MacOS Big Sur. I have tried fresh installs with both homebrew and macports, and I've even tried the docker container and I get the same error every time.
This is the process and ouput:

I'm stumped here. Any direction on where I can look or what I can try would be most welcome. Thanks!
The module is in a file called wn.pl, not wordnet.pl.
On my machine, after having run pack_install(wordnet)., one finds this:
$HOME/.local/share/swi-prolog/pack/wordnet
|
├── pack.pl
├── prolog
│ ├── wn.pl
│ └── wn_portray.pl
└── README.md
So:
?- use_module(library(wn)).
However:
ERROR: Cannot find WordNet data files. Please set the environment
ERROR: variable WNDB to point at the directory holding the WordNet files
So these files need to be installed, too.
