If you are running ECLiPSe from a binary distribution, you will need 
extra binary packages to run eplex -- each external solver has its own 
binary package, but we do not distribute binary packages for using eplex 
with CPLEX. This is because this package would normally require 
proprietary CPLEX code, which we cannot distribute. Therefore, you will 
need to compile ECLiPSe from source, including building the eplex 
library for CPLEX.

One exception is for Windows (32 bit), because the CPLEX library is 
supplied as a dynamic library (rather than a static library) for this 
platform, and thus we don't need to include the CPLEX library in the 
distribution. We don't actually distribute this at the moment, but I can 
send you all the required files (without the CPLEX library, of course). 
You need to let me know which version of CPLEX you have (such as 12.2, 
which I think is the most current version).

If you chose to compile ECLiPSe and eplex, you probably should read the 
Setup guide before doing so. This is distributed with the source, but 
you can also download a PDF version from

http://eclipseclp.org/reports/SetupGuide.pdf

Cheers,

Kish
