Finally, I find a work-around to solve this problem.

For those who are still struggling for installing the latest version PPL: the installation may be  much more simpler using the package given by this ftp page
 
ftp://rsync.cs.unipr.it/pub/ppl/snapshots/ 

The packages from this page contains already a working "configure" file.

Besides, I suggest that we add a constraint parser in PPL's Java interface so that we can add a constraint
'x+1<=y' literally like in C++.

Thank you for your answer.

Sorry, but it still does not work.  I followed the instruction of Readme.configure:

bash-3.2$ autoreconf
configure.ac:43: option `dist-xz' not recognized
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1
bash-3.2$ autoreconf -f
configure.ac:43: option `dist-xz' not recognized
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1

Then I tried to update my autoconf, automake etc following this link
http://www.mattvsworld.com/blog/2010/02/install-the-latest-autoconf-and-automake-on-mac-os-10-6/

Then I tried 'autoreconf'. It does not work with the same error message above.  I have no clue to get out from this situation. Could you help please? I only need to recompile the several files of Java interface that Enea recently added.

Thanks.
Zell.

I don't find 'configure' in your PPL. (downloaded by GIT)
Is that normal?

Yes: see the section on "Using the Git Sources"
in README.configure.
Kind regards,
