Seems you've done only half the installation.  The complete story is:

        <unpack sources>
        cd src
        ./configure
        make
        sudo make install
        <now you've got basic SWI-Prolog>
        cd ../packages
        <optionally edit Makefile to (de)select packages>
        ./configure
        make
        sudo make install
        <now you've got sockets, process management, SGML/XML, RDF, graphics, etc>

Where did you get this old installation instruction from?
