It seems that the ic-library of ECLiPSe is not powerful enough to
discover inconsistency of
-2*X+8*Y =:= 1, 2*X -8*Y =:= 7. Does anybody have ideas how this can
be remedied? I'm using constraints over Q and Z.


Best regards,
Alexander

Dear Alexander,

Pure interval (or bounds) techniques perform very poorly with linear
constraints. You might be interested in some of the work we have done
aiming to resolve this problem.
