If I change it to what you said :

% Displays the output of siblings(X,Y) and takes care that 
% there are no duplicates.
display_siblings(Person) :-
      findall(Person-Y, (siblings(Person,Y)), Sibs),
      display_the_siblings(Sibs).

Then I see these error messages:

ERROR: /home/roelof/prolog/gene:28:0: Syntax error: Operator expected
ERROR: /home/roelof/prolog/gene:34:0: Syntax error: Operator expected
