I am starting off learning Prolog. I am on Ubuntu 9.10, can someone suggest an IDE to me ? Unfortunately SCITE doesn't support Prolog and I am trying to avoid Eclipse and NetBean.

A: 

A while ago I was a happy user of SWI Prolog (sudo apt-get install swi-prolog).

Sorry, it appears IDE is included in an another package (I used SWI Prolog some 7 years ago).

I'm not an IDE user myself, but SWI-Prolog features one called XPCE and PCE Emacs. Install with sudo apt-get install swi-prolog-xpce, start by issuing xpce in a terminal window, then emacs. (with period) to get into the editor. Documentation at the SWI-Prolog website.

Prolog support for GNU Emacs is in the prolog-el package (no experience with that).
