alldifferent_matrix/1 takes a matrix (2-dimensional array)
and places alldifferent/1 constraints on its rows AND columns.

So "alldifferent_matrix on the columns" does not make sense.

I would anyway recommend that you use individual alldifferent/1
constraints instead of alldifferent_matrix/1 (it is a prototype that
currently works only for special cases like square matrices).


Some further recommendations:

Do not use lib(matrix_util), it is an old library from the times
before ECLiPSe supported arrays properly.  It represents matrices
as lists of lists, which is hardly ever convenient.  Use dim/2
to create matrices (arrays of arrays).

It is seldom necessary to convert between lists and arrays.
Most constraints, and predicates like labeling/1, accept both.
This would be a more compact version of your code:

essai(N,Span,M) :-

    Nb is N*(N-1)//2,

    dim(M, [Nb,N]),
    M #:: 0..1,

    ( for(J,1,N), param(M,Nb,Span) do
        sequence(0,1,Span,M[1..Nb,J])
    ),

    ( for(I,1,Nb), param(M,N) do
        sum(M[I,1..N]) #= 2
    ),

    array_flat(1, M, Vars),
    labeling(Vars).


Cheers,
Joachim
