[PPL-devel] SICStus interface

[Tristan Denmat]

Dear Roberto,
First of all, sorry for all the shortcuts I have used in my 
explanations... I just didn't realize.
I think I have done all that you mention in your email and that the 
version of SICStus is ok.
I attach the config.log file

Best regards,
Tristan
