Thanks so much, Nicos. I ended up bothering both you and me :)

I opened the URL, unzipped the content to ~/lib/swipl/pack/spuds,
then copied spuds-0.0.6.tgz from download directory to
~/lib/swipl/pack/Downloads,
and restarted Prolog.

Restarting was necessary to let Prolog to adjust the file_search_path. Not
sure if copying the tgz was necessary...

bye Carlo
