1. Do you have a build for MacOS Mojave?
   The build for High Sierra does not work on Mojave:
   MacBook-Pro:bpl-3.2-highsierra-executable$ ./bpl
   dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/system/libsystem_network.dylib
   Referenced from: bpl-3.2-highsierra-executable/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
   Reason: image not found

   Thank you!

   1. Hi.

      We have not yet taken that step of migrating to the new version of the MacOS system, Mojave. We hope to do it in the near future.

      We regret the problems you have had in your installation.

      However, you can appreciate the characteristics of our language using the online version: https://dectau.uclm.es:8443

2. I discover Bousi-Prolog which seems full of promises !

   Apparently the Ubuntu executable packages proposed for version 3.5 are in fact at version 3.4. Is it possible to fix this point or should I compile and install the source version 3.5 of the software ?.

   Windows executable version is well the 3.5.

   1. We apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused. Now the problem you point out is solved.

      Note that we have just released a new version 3.5.1 which adds a minimal but important enhancement: checking for cycles in WordNet hierarchies to avoid non-termination.

      1. Thanks for the new version 3.5.1. Adter a first attempt to use it I have these two observations :

         1- With the bpl-3.5.1-ubuntu64-executable version used on Ubuntu 20.04.1 I get the following error message :
         “./bousi: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
         ”
         even though the package libtinfo-dev is properly installed on the system.

         2-, With the bpl-3.5.1-unix-installer version, I manage to compile the program and to run a first example. Nevertheless the command line edition has no history functions as if libedit (Editline library) was not operational even though the package libeditline-dev is properly installed on the Ubuntu 20.04.1 system.

         1. The bpl-3.5.1-ubuntu64-executable version needs to have a LD_LIBRARY_PATH properly defined to work. To do so the bpl command can be modified as follows :

            #!/bin/bash
            #export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
            export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./
            ./bousi

            Nevertheless, as for the locally builded version, the command line edition history is not operational.

      2. An observation :

         Bousi 3.5.1 does not work with the last stable version (8.2.1-3) of swi-prolog. It works with version 7.6.4.

3. I tried to compile/install Bousi-Prolog 3.5 but it fails to do so and complains that it cannot find SWI-Prolog. However this software is well installed with the version 8.1.31 and can be launched with the command swipl.

4. With respect to point 2: remove comments of both all the calls to the history predicates, and the predicates themselves (look for “history” in bplShell.pl: you will find load_history/0, save_history/0, history_filename/1, max_history_commands/1 and their calls).
