I think you want load(to_poly_solver) (note the final "r").

This is more than a little confusing; usually the package name
coincides with the name of the function it loads, probably it
should be that way in this case. Sorry for the trouble.

A lot has changed since 5.17, including to_poly_solve.
I recommend you get the most recent version (5.20).
