tags 456261 + pending kthxbye Hi Markus,
I can can recreate your bug now (I did not have the XPCE package installed!)
After some investigation, I discovered the startup procedure of SWI Prolog
involves using argv[0] to determine where to locate 'foo.rc' (and similar)
files:
% pwd
/home/lamby
% file $(which swipl)
/usr/bin/swipl: symbolic link to `../lib/swi-prolog/bin/amd64/pl'
% echo | strace -eopen /usr/lib/swi-prolog/bin/amd64/pl 2>&1 | grep "\.rc"
open("/usr/lib/swi-prolog/pl.rc", O_RDONLY) = 3
% echo | strace -eopen swipl 2>&1 | grep "\.rc"
%
I've fixed this problem by replacing the /usr/bin/swipl symboling link with a
short shell script [0]. An updated version of the package (with new upstream
version 5.6.48) is now pending upload.
/Lamby
