[Hugs-users] hugs98 on macports

[Benjamin L. Russell]

Not sure if this will help, but I just read about a
similar problem that a user had in installing
SWI-Prolog on X11 on Leopard; since this problem seems
related, let me forward to this list his message
below.

To sum, I would suggest that you try the following
procedure (the following procedure has been quoted and
edited from the version by Tom Conlon):

Hope this helps!
