The svar_db errors has nothing to do with with sqlite. These are two
very different facilities. I wouldn't expect to see any errors
relating to sqlite unless you actually use the SQL API.

Hi Jürgen and colleagues,
I've done a bit more digging, including running the apl-1.8 Docker
container and, where applicable, APLX V5.1 and Dyalog APL V18.0.
My conclusion is the Mac OS X 10.15.* build is broken and it may
be easier to abandon OS X than to fix it.... :(
I've appended a screen log of a build and demonstrated the
following three of the bugs.
1) Warning )loading )saved workspaces. Sorry not to be clear. The
tarball build cannot load the workspaces it has shaved--same
version, same build. This is clearly demonstrated at the end of
the screen log. Here's the salient bit:

2) Sqlite3 connectivity. The above error messages in magenta
report that apl cannot connect to Sqlite3 APserver. /I get this
error message every other time I start apl/, this is documented in
the my original (endless) email. This behavior is not observed
when running APL in the docker container.
3) ⎕plot broken - this should not be a syntax error and isn't
observed when running APL in the docker container (this is also
demonstrated in the screen log).

4) The state indicator. I compared your implementation of the the
state indicator to Dyalog's and APLX's and it's clear you have
chosen to do it differently than other interpreters I have used.
Both Dyalog and APLX (and if memory services APL 2, APL*PLUS and
APL20) all omitted interactive mode errors from the SI stack.
I'm not sure what motivated your design, but clearly this appears
to be what you intended. Thanks.
The devolution of the Mac is sad, but all is flux. Thanks for your
Docker container; I'll take advantage of that for further use of
gnu-apl.
Indeed, thanks for your great contribution.

Hi,
I've just spent a couple of days working to get gnu-apl up and
running under OS X Catalina. Good progress has been made, but I'm
unsure if I have a stable and fully functioning copy of the
interpreter.
Welcome to GNU APL.
During this exercise, I encountered four experiences that may
indicate bugs. They are:
1. Build Issue?: Newly saved workspaces rejected as ancient by
interpreter
This can only happens if the interpreter (-binary) that )SAVEd the WS
is different from the interpreter thast )LOADs it. Note that
./configure
may change the reference numbers (= SVN versions) that were used
to compare the workspace versions.
1. Quirk?: Sqlite3 connection error message comes and goes
That would be a question for Elias, I believe
1. Mystery?: Quad-Plot usage
see *info apl* (chapter 2.30) or online here:
https://www.gnu.org/software/apl/apl.html#Section-2_002e30
<https://www.gnu.org/software/apl/apl.html#Section-2_002e30>
1. Bug?: ⎕SI for non function execution errors?
Not sure what you mean:

I'm unfamiliar with the gnu packaging tools and completely
overwhelmed by this enormous code base. Thus, I apologize in
advance for any limitations or mistakes in this report.

John Helm
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Build Issue: Newly saved workspaces warned as ancient by
interpreter
The "standard" compile and install sequence using the
apl-1.8.tar.gz tarball does not compile correctly on OS X Catalina.
The problem is configure runs svn commands to write a file
./src/buildtag.hh and these commands fail because the tarball is
not an SVN repo. The resulting binary compiles without a build
number. The net result is workspaces are saved with a null build
number, and )LOADing these files fails with the following message:
WARNING: this workspace was )SAVEd with a VERY old SVN
version of GNU APL.
Expect problems, in particular when the )SI was not clear.
In case of problems, please try )COPY instead of )LOAD.

3) Mystery Quad-Plot usage
All attempts to invoke ⎕PLOT result in a SYNTAX ERROR.
⎕plot ''
SYNTAX ERROR
⎕PLOT

VALUE ERROR
⎕X YZ

I note that this behavior is expected for ⎕RE if libpcre2 is
absent when gnu-apl is compiled...
SYNTAX ERROR
⎕RE
^
'abc' ⎕RE 'aaaaabcccc'
SYNTAX ERROR+
'abc' ⎕RE 'aaaaabcccc'
Does this behavior indicate some prerequisites are missing for
⎕PLOT to work?
================================================================
4) Bug?: ⎕SI for non function execution errors?
4.1) It appears many (all?) errors cause push a event State
Indicator. Other apl interpreters I've used do not push events
such as value errors or domain errors on the State Indicator. Is
this intended behavior?
4.2) The GNU APL info page indicates ⎕si's arguments include 5
and 6, but these return errors on my version. Is this a
documentation error?
