    Hi Dough,

Hello,

Running Fedora 32. Downloaded apl-1.8.src.

*******

in dir apl-1.8:

./configure 

...

configure: creating ./src//buildtag.hh

svn: E155007: '/home/doug/Downloads/apl-1.8.src/apl-1.8/src/Archive.cc' is not a working copy

configure: creating ./src/makefile.h

    This may happen when GNU APL is not fetched via svn. The point is to
    create a small file
    called buildtag.hh in directory src. It normally
    looks like this:
    
    #include "Common.hh"
      #define BUILDTAG PACKAGE_NAME, PACKAGE_VERSION " /
        17072:17076M", "2020-08-10 09:27:53 UTC", "Linux
        4.15.0-108-generic x86_64", "'--enable-maintainer-mode'
        'DEVELOP_WANTED=yes' 'CXX_WERROR=yes'"
      #define ARCHIVE_SVN " 16972"
      
      If the file cannot be created for  some reason then you
    can edit it manually like above
    (possibly adjusting some of the values above. ./configure should
    continue despite of the
    error, so make after ./configure supposedly works.

configure: creating ./src/configure_args.cc

    This can happen with newer gcc versions. I have filed a bug with the
    gcc guys earlier
    this year but no solution yet.
    
    See file README-11-bogus-compiler-warnings in the top-level
    directory
    for how to fix this.

 Problem: conflicting requests

  - nothing provides libtinfo.so.5(NCURSES_TINFO_5.0.19991023)(64bit) needed by apl-1.8-0.x86_64

    This looks to me like a Fedora dependency problem. GNU APL does not
    use libinfo.
