[Attempto] Windows 7 install problem

[George Herson]

Hi Tobias,

thanks but that PATH adjustment I'd already made.  I still think there may be a problem using SWI-Prolog's jpl.dll on Windows 7.

However, everything is working for me so far on Fedora 12.  

regards,
George

Hi George,

It seems that Jetty finds jpl.dll but fails to find other SWI Prolog libraries. According to this link

http://www.swi-prolog.org/packages/jpl/installation.html

the problem could be that libpl.dll is not found. Maybe it works if you add "C:\Program 
Files\pl\bin" additionally to the PATH environment variable.

A similar problem has been reported to the list. See:

Cheers,
Tobias
