This means that make_exe.sh first tried to use 'swipl' but such an
executable was not found.

This means that make_exe.sh successfully found 'pl' and used that to
compile the sources.

These errors might mean that you don't have the http-package installed.
The APE download page (http://attempto.ifi.uzh.ch/site/downloads/) says that

"""In order to use APE, you must install SWI-Prolog and its packages
(minimally: clib, sgml and http) first. Recent versions of SWI-Prolog
(5.6.46 and higher) should be OK."""

You can get away with not installing the http-package because this is only
needed if you run APE as an HTTP service (as "./ape.exe -httpserver").
So for your purposes, these error messages are harmless.

But I think it's a good idea to update your SWI-Prolog version to
higher or equal
than 5.6.46 (why not even the latest, v5.7.7).
APE might contain predicate calls that don't work in earlier version.
