Does anyone know SBProlog3.1?

We have been trying to install SBProlog 3.1 on our Sun SparcStation 1+ with
little success.

ftp'ing from optima.cs.arizona.edu had some surprises:
	- The system was not tar'ed directory by directory as seems the norm
		for SBProlog, but appeared in the single file
		sbprolog_v3.1.tar.Z. This was inconsistent with the
		INSTALL script which expected to unpack each directory...
		However manual decompressing and untaring revealed 
		seemingly the full subdirectory structure complete with all
		the usual files (we have already installed SBProlog3.0 and
		Modular SBProlog 3.1).

	- doing a 'make' in .../sim/builtin caused some warnings:
> make
> cc -c -O other.c
> "other.c", line 117: warning: struct/union or struct/union pointer required
> "other.c", line 119: warning: struct/union or struct/union pointer required
> "other.c", line 119: warning: struct/union or struct/union pointer required

		The problem seemed to lie with the array 'call_arg' whose
		definition had been commented out near the top of 'other.c'.

	- Doing a subsequent 'make' on .../sim caused the usual
> cc: Warning: File with unknown suffix (builtin/builtin) passed to ld
	  but also
> ld: Undefined symbol
>     _GREGC
	  which caused the make to fail. GREGC is presumably a macro which is
	  never defined. Surprisingly it appears only in ...sim/builtin/other.c
	  in the same function ('b_SYSCALL()' - line 106) in which all of the
	  above warnings appeared.

Can anyone help with this? Otherwise a support address for SBProlog3.1 would
be greatly appreciated. I'm quite desperate as my project deadline is looming
menacingly.

Thanks in advance from sunny SA.
