Please excuse me if this question has already been asked a million times but I'm new to this list.
I have been successful at getting Ciao-1.6p3 for win32 to run under Emacs 20.4 on Windows 98 but not on Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 sp6. The ciao-mode loads fine, the syntax colouring is there, the manuals are there etc. BUT whein I try to run the ciao system (i. e. load a buffer of prolog code into the ciao interpreter) within Emacs I get the following error whcih shows in the Emacs "minibuffer" below the main emacs window: "Spawning child process: exec format error". Since I'm not an Emacs expert I can't be of much for help to you except to say the it works fine on Windows 98 and I've also been successful at getting it to run on Red Hat Linux ver. 5.1 I have tried to use Emacs version 20.7 and 19.34 as well as 20.4 but have the same problem on all of them using NT 4.0 sp6. This may be an Emacs/NT problem and not a Ciao problem. The newer ciao-1.7p83Win32 version also has this problem.
Except for this problem the system works very well on both a Gateway Pentium Pro (200 Mhz) with 128 Mb of memory running LInux and a Pentium III at 550 Mhz with 256 Mb of memory running Win 98 and Linux.
Has anyone compiled Ciao on Linux PPC on a Macintosh? I may try this.
If anyone has any thoughts on the NT problem please let me know.
Thank You,
Mike Hewitt
