a2ps installation problem on Mac OS X

[h500140]

Dear Madam / Sir,

when installing a2ps on my m,ac (10.14) with xcode installed, after make 
install, I had the following error messages

Re: [Fink-users] failed attempt to build a2ps in 10.7 tree from 10.4

I removed the file line "extern char * stpcpy()“ from xstrrpl.c and then 
everything worked fine after I included my bin directory as path in .profile.

I believe since this seems to be an old error, it should be removed from the 
source file in your distribution.

Yours sincerely
