Dear Madam / Sir,

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

I removed the file line "extern char * stpcpy()=E2=80=9C 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
