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.

1) Sometimes a make complains that aclocal-<version> is missing. It is
in fact present, but a different version. It's possible to clear this
warning 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.
