I'm trying to use the SWI-Prolog JPL library, but I'm having problems.
I'm trying to let my Eclipse project access JPL, but when I try to start the program, I get the following error:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no jpl in java.library.path
I copied the jpl.jar into my project directory, and I set it on the build path. Additionally, I pass the following VM arguments:
-Djava.library.path="C:\Program Files\Prolog\bin"
(That's the directory where Prolog was installed).
What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: I don't seem to have the libpl.dll anywhere on my computer. Could this be causing my problem?
The jvm.dll of your running JDK/JRE must be available in your system PATH so that jpl.dll from java.library.path loads properly.
You have to take care to 32 bits / 64 bits consistency between your JPL installation and your running JVM - so do not try any mix.
Here is information from an old installation doc.
For such installation support, you should use the JPL mailing list.
You should set the java.library.path to the folder where the jpl.dll file is located. As far as I know it is the Prolog\bin folder.
A system-wide solution in a Mac environment (SWI-Prolog version 7.1.4 for x86_64-darwin13.1.0) would be to create the following symlink:
ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/swi-prolog/7.1.4/libexec/lib/swipl-7.1.4/lib/x86_64-darwin13.1.0/libjpl.jnilib /Library/Java/Extensions/libjpl.jnilib
