[Attempto] Installation of local version of ACE view

[Eddy Vanderlinden]

Hello Kaarel,

I get still the error message: OWL verbalizer error
                                            Error accessing OWL ->ACE 
webservice Connection refused: connect.
The console shows:

The files from your list which are not present:

I copied the .dll and finally also the .exe files.

I tried for the settings in Protégé:
http://localhost:5123/ and
http://localhost/service/owl_verbalizer/owl_to_ace

Hope you can find something with this info

Thanks in beforehand

Kind regards

Hi,

An exception is thrown there which you cannot recover from. So just abort
and make sure that all the required libraries are accessible.

If Google Translate is correct then the English translation of this message 
is:

"Can not find specified module."

The OWL Verbalizer requires the following SWI-Prolog packages:

clib (provides memfile, socket, time, etc.),
sgml (provides XML support),
http (provides http_stream, etc.).

I would expect that the SWI-Prolog Windows installer has installed all of 
them
for you already.

So, you either do not have these packages installed (unlikely),
or lack an environment variable pointing to these libraries.

Can you send me the directory listing of the SWI-Prolog libraries' 
directory,
i.e. the directory where you copied the libpl.dll etc. from?
E.g. on a Linux machine, this directory contains the following shared 
libraries
(given that clib, sgml, and http are installed):

cgi.so
crypt.so
files.so             not present
http_stream.so
json.so
libjpl.so            not present
libpl.so
memfile.so
mime.so
process.so
random.so
readutil.so
rlimit.so            not present
sgml2pl.so
sha4pl.so
socket.so
streaminfo.so      not present
time.so
unix.so                not present

In your case, instead of the extension ".so", the extension is ".dll".

Now, if you have the same files on your machine, then it means that all the
required libraries are there. Then either copy all of them to the OWL 
Verbalizer
directory (this is an ugly solution), or reference this libraries'
directory using
some environment variable, maybe PATH, maybe LD_LIBRARIES_PATH,
I have no idea how these things work on Windows. :(
