16.2 How to load the library
To use the library, you must have an MP solver that eplex can use
(for example,
XPRESS-MP or CPLEX). Your ECLiPSe should be configured to load in a
`default' solver if there is more than one available.

- See the library
manual's Eplex chapter for details for how to install the solver.
When configured properly, the library can be loaded with the directive:
This will load the library with the default external MP solver.
You may need a valid license in order to use an external solver. With your
ECLiPSe license, you can obtain a full OEM version of
XPRESS-MP1 that
runs with ECLiPSe version 5.5 and later from ECLiPSe's ftp site.
