A GPS is not required - not really sure why that changed anything!
Oh man - it just occurred to me that it was probably out of fuel (if getting the stuck message). I'll add some fuel check in the code so you know what's going on.

Could be me being a noob, i have just now start using ComputerCraft and since Turtle was not building, complaining that was blocked, i had no idea how it would get to the start position, doing a GPS network and applied the "gps locate" on the turtle it start working.
Me and my friends sure loving the program in my server so we really thankful for this program even if it's a early release, it's a great work.
Something we notice it's that without world anchors is pretty annoying to restart build since it requires a chest (of course everyone start doing big schematics), so turtle need to be move to the starting position, maybe start from where is at moment if exist the progress file and bypass the Chest check?
Also didn't figure exactly where it start build the schematic from the start position, does it consider the block in front of turtle as the left down corner of the schematic or it give some spaces before doing it?
Turtle also destroy what it finds while on path to the building, any chance if is given the starting position to build and place the chest area above the building it will not damage the surroundings and allow precision building of schematics next to each others?
Also only the bellow chest is small for bigger buildings, need to check more about this ComputerCraft to see if already exist ways to "present" more chest to the turtle..
I'm not really considering a auto-resume function at this time (the manual resume should be 100% reliable - auto-resume would not be).
If you are going to be doing big builds, I really suggest trying an AE system. The AE system can tie in with most other mods (it does not need to be your primary source for storage - just a means for retrieving items).
Right now, the turtle starts at position -1, 0, -1 of the building. I agree that having the position within the building coordinates would be ideal - but I can't figure out a good way to do that. For example, I had a building that was 80 blocks tall. I wouldn't want to have the starting position that high up and have to run cable there
