Swi-prolog on RHEL 7 / CentOS7 ?

[olivier sallou]

Hi,

swi-prolog does not seem to be available for RHEL/CentOS 7.

Is there any specific reason fo that?

Thanks

The development version in not "available" through the package manager on most Linux/BSD distributions. It is, however, very easy to build from source. See the link:

http://www.swi-prolog.org/build/

Currently in the EET time zone: This is UTC +2:00 (and I sleep at night)

Not from the SWI-Prolog side :-) I don't know how these
distros work wrt. which packages are included and what version.
I'd advice to send them a mail. Even better, write an application
that every Linux distro wants to include :-)

As Boris says, compiling from source is easy. Packages are nice
if you want to base cloud images on Prolog though ...

Sadly, it'd be distributed as a qsave

Possibly, but that depends on the packager of this nice
application. The tradition in the Linux world, as opposed
to common practice in Windows and MacOS, is to make a
package dependency rather than include stuff from
the dependent package. If not giant, I would distribute
the application simply as a #!/usr/bin/swipl script. That
is what happens with most applications that are executed by
some virtual machine.
