My experience also, after running the goal above.

But there's other issue that may affect some users. Due to MacOS X specifies where GUI applications don't inherit the same environment as e.g. the command-line shells, SWI-Prolog applications that expect and require environment variables to be defined will not work. The same issue affects PDT but this tool provides a workaround in its preferences allowing users to specify environment variables for the GUI process.

Cheers,

Paulo
