Well, this is part of the problem.
The script to load is to_poly_solver, not topoly_solver.

At present there is both to_poly_solver.mac and topoly_solver.mac.
I don't know what the difference is, or whether both are needed.
If topoly_solver isn't needed, we should axe it.
If it's needed, we should rename it. Barton?
