Why source_sink 'library(tipc/tipc)' does not exist?

I have not tested this out as I am using Windows 10 and I believe you are on a Mac, but I am sure Jan will correct me if I make a mistake.

tipc is not a library in the library directory by default, (GitHub), so it is not installed by default.

tipc is available for download at https://github.com/SWI-Prolog/contrib-tipc
This also has an install script install-sh

After this the use_module(library(tipc/tipc)). should work. If not check the physical path on the disk with the path given in use_module.

HTH
