New Raspberry Pi 2

[scidata]

I'm hoping that the greatly improved speed and RAM size will encourage academic use of the pi for constraint programming in general. I've posted a noob page:

You might suggest building from source. package managers are often far behind, and
building's not difficult.

usually clone, run ./configure, make, sudo make install
cd packages ./configure, make, sudo make install

will do it

I'm more excited about the touchscreen.

There's some buzz in the semantic web world about semantic sensor ontology.

Maybe we could steal a march on them and have a corner of the semantic web that's Prolog oriented.

I'm pretty new to Prolog and have mostly just been lurking on this list. However, I've been playing around with Prolog on a first generation Pi for the purpose of creating and hosting small Prolog driven websites. I recently also put together a newbie page for installing prolog on a Pi, from source. It was a little tricky to figure out how to get all the dependencies for all the libraries. My hope is that the Pi might provide an easy way for more people to experiment with prolog-driven websites, because why not? :) The Raspberry Pi 2's RAM boost should help too.

Nice and clear guide. Two little remarks. You probably could have
saved yourself a great deal of work if you had found the Debian page
(http://www.swi-prolog.org/build/Debian.txt) and to verify everything is
installed correctly there is the (SWI-7) predicate

?- check_installation.

This checks that all extensions are present and can be loaded, pointing
to a Wiki page if some extension is not present or fails to load.

I eventually did find the Debian page, which was very helpful for getting everything working. However, I didn't know about the check_installation predicate. That seems very useful indeed. Thank you!
