    I installed by error the SWI-PROLOG for PPC instead for intel... then i installd over it the version for INTEL but it gives me an error, i think because of the previous installation, i don't know how to uninstalled both SWI-PROLOG to do then a clean installation... the installer doesn't have a "uninstall option"...

    Some advise please... :(

    Well normally simply dragging the app to the trash will un-install it. So I would give this a try. If your really paranoid then perhaps try force running the maintenance scripts and reboot the machine before re-installing the intel version..
    oh and empty the trash too!

    That didn't work, but thanks. I finally could make it work by deleting all the libray files from its bin/local folder (i don´t remember the patch exactly), then I deleted the aplication using the trash and finally i installed it again with the overwrite option enabled.

    Now works, but thanks again! :)

    Yeah sorry I forgot to mention that once you empty the trash its a good idea to do a search for any files and delete those left over, like you found there are sometimes some library files not removed etc.
    Glad its now working
