Hi All,

I have a simple list generation problem, where my program needs to generate a series of lists from a few rules. The SQL would be fairly nightmarish, but I thought maybe some Prolog might help. So I tried to install AI::Prolog under MSW. I seem to be having a lot of problems with the dependencies. So I have two questions:

1 - Is there an easier version of Prolog to install?
2 - Can I fix this one?

I am working through the errors one by one, but the current one just goes straight over my head.

If I try to run the program, with some failed dependencies to try to see what works and what doesn't the code:

use warnings;
use strict;
use Term::ReadLine;
use Term::ReadKey;
use Pod::Usage 1.12;
use aliased 'AI::Prolog';

Generates:

OK, so it looks like I have a problem with ReadKey. I check the download, it's fine. I run nmake, although it looks quite wordy, there are a couple of warnings, but no fatal errors:

Howver, when I run nmake test, I get fatal errors:

So Load up test.pl in Komodo and get the same error. The line in question is just:

use Term::ReadKey;

Your wisdom would be appreciated

Regards

PS I see Term-ReadKey is a module on PPM, so I pressed the validate button and it says "fine", or words to that effect.
