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.
