Given the standard locations you shouldn't need any of these flags,
but I guess you added them after problems without flags.

Hard to say. Have a look at config.log where the compiler errors go.
There is one clue:

> checking for main in -lSM... no

You only get -lXt -lX11, which is not normal on todays X11
implementations (normal is -lXt -lX11 -lSM -lICE) I'd first dig into
that. Maybe you didn't install the X11 development package for your
system?

B.t.w. there should only be a few 'no's during configure. If there are
a lot there is generally a more serious problem with the development
environment.

If you find out and the problem is not a local issue, I'm glad to
receive patches or a description on how you had to tweak the sources
to make them compile.

icon of an aplication

When one uses the qsave_program/2 predicate with stand_alone option = true , an executable file is generated. And that file can be seen inside windows desktop with the swi-prolog icon associated. Is it posible to link another icon, previously drawn in any icon or jpeg editor, to the swi-prolog application? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide, João
