On MacOS X, when installing SWI-Prolog using DarwinPorts (including the installers available from the SWI-Prolog web site), the above header files are installed on /opt/local/lib/swipl-x.y.zz/include/. A possible solution would be to create links to the header files on / opt/local/include/.
Yes, this is what I meant. What I wanted to say is whether you plan to modify your install procedure so that this link is performed automatically (to match what happens on the Unix/GNU world) or if you think this is the job of third-party software providers, like ourselves.
P.S. BTW, why /opt/local instead of /usr/local?
To ensure that DarwinPorts installed software does not depend or interfere with MacOS X provided software and libraries, creating a nightmare of dependencies (not to mention that upgrading MacOS X can wipe out /usr).
Thanks for the explanation. Cheers,
