I just encountered what might be a related problem--I am linking gprolog 
in with additional libraries beyond those that 'gplc' uses and one of 
them ( the Mac OS X Foundation Framework, I think) already has a 
function named Allocate. I renamed gprolog's Allocate to AllocateGP (and 
rebuilt) and it all worked. So far.
