Strange error with make/0

Help!
1

On my Mac, I have this strange behaviour when calling goal make/0 immediately after calling swipl
Any idea what I am doing wrong here:

$ swipl -l load.pl

Load.pl is as follows:
file_search_path(cddb, data).
:-use_module(lib/cddb).

:- ensure_loaded(import_helper).

import(File):-
open(File, read, Stream)
, load(Stream, L)
, post_data(L)
, close(Stream).

Quite weird. Just installed the latest version on the Mac, but all works just fine. Try

?- debug.
?- make:make_no_trace.

That should give more details. Calling make_no_trace should also allow you to use the debugger.

I can’t do anything with this out put, but here it is:

N.B. my module cddb uses lib persistency, and this is the only place where must_be/2 comes into play

You redefined import/1. I thought this should not affect the libraries, but in this case it apparently does. I’ll make a note to checkout why someday.

renamed my import/1 to import_file/1, this fixes the strange behaviour.
Meaning, it now works as expected…
Thanks for your support.
