source_sink 'library(process)' does not exist

Question

I wanted to install some 3rd-party software in swipl (version 7.5.5.; installed completely and without complaints from the github repo).

Now, I got the following error:

ERROR: /usr/local/lib/swipl-7.5.5/library/prolog_pack.pl:52: source_sink library(process)' does not exist Warning: /usr/local/lib/swipl-7.5.5/library/prolog_pack.pl:52: Goal (directive) failed: prolog_pack:use_module(library(process)) ERROR: /usr/local/lib/swipl-7.5.5/library/prolog_pack.pl:56: source_sinklibrary(filesex)' does not exist Warning: /usr/local/lib/swipl-7.5.5/library/prolog_pack.pl:56: Goal (directive) failed: prolog_pack:use_module(library(filesex)) ERROR: /usr/local/lib/swipl-7.5.5/library/prolog_pack.pl:57: source_sink library(xpath)' does not exist Warning: /usr/local/lib/swipl-7.5.5/library/prolog_pack.pl:57: Goal (directive) failed: prolog_pack:use_module(library(xpath)) ERROR: /usr/local/lib/swipl-7.5.5/library/prolog_pack.pl:59: source_sinklibrary(uri)' does not exist Warning: /usr/local/lib/swipl-7.5.5/library/prolog_pack.pl:59: Goal (directive) failed: prolog_pack:use_module(library(uri)) ERROR: /usr/local/lib/swipl-7.5.5/library/prolog_pack.pl:60: source_sink library(http/http_open)' does not exist Warning: /usr/local/lib/swipl-7.5.5/library/prolog_pack.pl:60: Goal (directive) failed: prolog_pack:use_module(library(http/http_open)) ERROR: /usr/local/lib/swipl-7.5.5/library/prolog_pack.pl:61: source_sinklibrary(http/http_client)' does not exist Warning: /usr/local/lib/swipl-7.5.5/library/prolog_pack.pl:61: Goal (directive) failed: prolog_pack:use_module(library(http/http_client),[]) ERROR: /usr/local/lib/swipl-7.5.5/library/prolog_pack.pl:1822:16: Syntax error: Operator expected ERROR: Undefined procedure: prolog_pack:uri_components/2 ERROR: In: ERROR: [11] prolog_pack:uri_components(cplint,_928) ERROR: [10] prolog_pack:git_url(cplint,_960) at /usr/local/lib/swipl-7.5.5/library/prolog_pack.pl:1428 ERROR: [9] prolog_pack:pack_default_options(cplint,_992,[],_996) at /usr/local/lib/swipl-7.5.5/library/prolog_pack.pl:467 ERROR: [8] prolog_pack:pack_install(cplint) at /usr/local/lib/swipl-7.5.5/library/prolog_pack.pl:431 ERROR: [7] Exception: (11) prolog_pack:uri_components(cplint, _1086) ? creep Exception: (9) prolog_pack:pack_default_options(cplint, _1086, [], _1090) ? creep

Now, this isn't a problem of the particular 3rd-party software; I get the same error for two other packages, too.

What do I wrong? Is my install incomplete?

I appreciate any hints. Thx!

When building from source, note that you must take additional steps to build the packages, located in swipl-devel/packages.

From the swipl-devel directory, do:

$ cd packages
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

See also the README file in swipl-devel/packages for more information about these packages.

For example, library(process) is part of the clib package that is installed only if you perform these steps or equivalent ones when building from source.
