Dear SWI-Prolog user, NOTE Google is giving false alarms on this site. See Parts of website blocked by Google Safe Browsing? SWI-Prolog 8.1.15 is ready for download. This versions comes with with some enhancements, bug fixes and a big change to the location of user config and data file location…

Note that the package manager snap and the visual programming language Snap! share nothing but their name – and the coincidental timing to attract the SWI-Prolog community recently :slight_smile:

There seem to be some permission/ownership problems if installing from the PPA. I had to do things like sudo chown -R peter ~/.config/swi-prolog/ ~/.local/share/swi-prolog.

[image] jan: Aggressively trying to avoid creating these directories as long as no file needs to be placed there. That should deal with this case which runs SWI-Prolog non-interactively, but still gets us into trouble if a user runs sudo swipl I think that if a user does sudo swipl, they can…
