I checked around and found: 1. I have a clean checkout of gnu-apl in ~blake/Backup/apl (the build directory)
2. There is an executable file named 'missing' in that build directory. 3. I am running ./configure from the build directory 4. I still get the same error. Interestingly, the error states that /home/blake/missing is missing. /home/blake is neither where the build directory is nor where I am running configure from. Thanks.
