Did you follow these instructions?  The reason that you're getting a
FileNotFoundException is that the build system is looking for a file
called $GUS_HOME/config/install.prop.  As the above directions indicate,
you're supposed to copy "install.prop.sample" (which is in the same
directory) to "install.prop" and then edit "install.prop" to match your
site's configuration.  Maybe we should change the message to say "You must
create the file ..." instead of "You must configure the file ...", since
the latter suggests that the file exists already.

This file is there to let you configure things that might be different
between different installations of GUS.  At the moment it only contains a
single property, which is the location of the Perl interpreter.  If your
Perl interpreter is /usr/bin/perl then you can simply use the default
file (although you still have to copy it into install.prop)  Let me know
if this makes sense, and, if so, how you think we could make the
directions clearer.  Thanks,
