It seems that you're trying to use the *Snow Leopard* (MacOS X 10.6) installer 
on *Leopard* (MacOS X 10.5). That was never tested (by me) was I don't have 
access to 10.5 anymore.

You can always build GNU Prolog from sources, either by downloading the source 
archive or by using MacPorts (the portfile for GNU Prolog 1.4.0 is already 
committed).
