Re: (no subject)

Hi Wouter

I didn't noticed yesterday, but actually pack 'dirtree' was read from
github, but the structure was incorrect, cause the missing prolog folder.
Hence the (misleading) message


1 ?- pack_install(dirtree).

ERROR: directory `/home/carlo/lib/swipl/pack/dirtree' does not exist

2 ?- pack_install(dirtree).

Remove old installation in '/home/carlo/lib/swipl/pack/dirtree' Y/n?

ERROR: directory `/home/carlo/lib/swipl/pack/dirtree' does not exist

Now I've adjusted locally the structure, and after pushing it, I got it
correctly installed.


Many thanks !


bye Carlo
