pack_install(tokenize) failed on macOS

[vjktm]

Hi,
pack_install(tokenize).
only gave an option to use the .zip. When I tried, it failed because of missing libraries on my mac. Is there a list of dependencies I should install first?
Thanks.

Hi, @vjktm. Thanks for reporting your issue.

Installation should be self-contained, assuming there haven't been any breaking changes to swi-prolog standard libraries. I was just able to install on swi-prolog 8.4.3, so this shouldn't be an issue, afaik.

A zip file is indeed all that is downloaded, then swipl takes care of unpacking the source into your local packages.

Could you please report here

• what version of swi-prolog you are running
• the example command you used to install the library
• the error output you received when you tried to to use_module

Thanks!

Hi @shonfeder , thanks for the response.
swi-prolog 8.5.20
command: pack_install(tokenize).
This time I got:
pack_install(tokenize). % Contacting server at https://www.swi-prolog.org/pack/query ... ok Install [email protected] from https://github.com/shonfeder/tokenize/archive/v1.0.1.zip Y/n? % Contacting server at https://www.swi-prolog.org/pack/query ... ok % "v1.0.1.zip" was downloaded 180 times Package: tokenize Title: A simple tokenization library Installed version: 1.0.1 Author: Shon Feder <[email protected]> Maintainer: Shon Feder <[email protected]> Packager: Shon Feder <[email protected]> Home page: https://github.com/shonfeder/tokenize Download URL: https://github.com/shonfeder/tokenize/release/*.zip Install "tokenize-1.0.1.zip" (16,717 bytes) Y/n? % % PL-Unit: tokenize % .................... done % % All 20 tests passed % % PL-Unit: tokenize % .................... done % % All 20 tests passed % echo "(none)" % (none) true.

Then I did:
use_module(library(tokenize)). which worked. It did not work without library/1

So, now it seems to work.
Previously it could not load some libraries, so I did the following in the mac terminal:
brew update
brew upgrade
I also did:
brew install libb2 since it could not load on the first try.

It seems all this fixed the problem. Appears that my brew installation was not up to date.
I think my issue is solved!
Thanks for your response.

?- tokenize("what is your name?",Tokens). Tokens = [word(what), space(' '), word(is), space(' '), word(your), space(' '), word(name), punct(?)].

Thank you for your library and your response.
