I had the same error, but I figured it out :) What you have to do is create
a "logic database". This is a simple text file with the facts and the rules
of the program (or the "program's universe" if u like :P) Make a blank text
file and enter:

even(a).
even(b).

compile with:

address@hidden:~/prog/prolog$ gplc nubble.pro 

execute with:

address@hidden:~/prog/prolog$ ./nubble 

This is what you get:

GNU Prolog 1.3.0

| ?- even(X).

X = a ? ;

X = b

yes
| ?- even(a).

yes
| ?- even(c).

no
| ?- 

I hope this helps :)
