SWI-Prolog dependencies

SWI-Prolog requires the following packages:

• libc6 (>= 2.7-1),
• libgmp3c2,
• libncurses5 (>= 5.6+20071006-3),
• libreadline5 (>= 5.2),
• libgmp3-dev,
• libreadline5-dev

To install the required packages manually (i.e., when compiling swipl from scratch or using a converted RPM package), do the following:

sudo apt-get install libc6 libgmp3c2 libncurses5 libreadline5 libgmp3-dev libreadline5-dev

Another way to install the required packages is to install the swi-prolog package itself (available in Ubuntu universe repository, unavailable in Etch stable) and then remove it:

sudo apt-get install swi-prolog
...
sudo apt-get remove swi-prolog
