The error seems to result from an incomplete Java installation, not from a SWI-Prolog issue. Be sure to install both the latest MacOS X Java update and the Java developer package that you can download from Apple's developer web site. Moreover, when reporting problems include details about which MacOS X version are you using.

Btw, I have just submitted updated portfiles for both "swi-prolog" and "swi-prolog-devel" ports.

Hi, pmoura,

Thanks for looking into the issue.

I downloaded the Java Developer download form apple. Now I am getting a different set of error messages

[pmoura (Paulo Moura)]

If I recall correctly, this X11 errors are fixed in later versions of SWI-Prolog. Either wait for the already submitted updated portfiles to be committed or simply use the binary installers available from the SWI-Prolog website.

I just tried to install swi-prolog (5.10.2) and swi-prolog-devel (5.11.X) via MacPorts. I get the same missing java headers error in my log files. However, compiling the latests version from git gives no problems.

I'm on Snow Leopard 10.6.4 with all the latest updates installed.

[J.Liem@…]

Sorry, I was wrong. After a make distclean and a new build attempt I get the same error from the latest git version.

[J.Liem@…]

Don't know what this 'Java Developer' download is, but the problem on Snow Leopard goes away if you install the latest XCode (3.2.4). Now all versions compile without problem.

You have to be registered as an Apple Developer to be able to download it. ​http://developer.apple.com/technologies/tools/xcode.html

Both 5.10.2, 5.11.8 and the latest Git version compile without problem.

Perhaps the problems with X11 can be resolved by reinstalling XQuartz? ​http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/wiki

Is this still an issue with 5.10.5?

Closing due to lack of interest.
