Hi David,
thanks. I have simplified the info directory entry for GNU APL a
little. Maybe
they don't like quotes in the entry. SVN 405.
I have added ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS = -I m4 to the top-level Makefile.am
Not sure if that fixes the aclocal problem; if not then I need
more information
(actual printouts) so that I can google the problem.
It could also be that if there are (autoconf/make-) generated
files in your directory,
and you update from SVN, that autoconf incorrectly believes that
some files need
to be rebuilt. Because SVN does not (and cannot) maintain time
relations. As far
as I understand, a normal build should not need aclocal to run at
all.

by doing a make distclean followed by ./configure and make.
I'm not sure what triggers this; I suspect that the
`missing` script doesn't get rebuilt when the tools it's
checking get updated.
2) Sometimes the info top page (not the APL top, but the
system top) gets corrupted and shows additional copies of the
`APL` entry along with some "random" control and high-bit
characters. I have no idea what triggers this. Here's an
example from one of my installations. Note that the
presentation may be a bit different from what I see in Emacs;
GMail tries to make sense of the apparently-Unicode
characters.
BTW, this seems to be an Emacs-only thing; running info in a
terminal does not list an entry for APL in the top page.
File: dir,
Node: Top This is the top of the INFO tree
This (the Directory node) gives a menu of major topics.
Typing "q" exits, "?" lists all Info commands, "d" returns
here,
"h" gives a primer for first-timers,
"mEmacs<Return>" visits the Emacs manual, etc.
In Emacs, you can click mouse button 2 on a menu item or
cross reference
to select it.
