16.2 How to load the library
To use the library, you must have an MP solver that eplex can use. This
can be an open-source solver such as the COIN-OR project's CLP/CBC solvers,
which is distributed with ECLiPSe, or a commercial solver such as
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 probably need a valid license in order to use an external commercial solver.
