There is an offiicial patch for the bug released now by Roderich Schupp : "fix is rev 1257 in PAR::Packer's Subversion repo and will be in the next relase of PAR::Packer"

Its installation  was a breeze, so I assumed that a2ps would install easily too.....However that was not the case; when reaching the 'make' phase I was getting the following error : Making all in lib make all-am Making all in src make all-am /bin/ksh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -o a2ps main.o read.o sshread.o ssheet.o select.o generate.o delegate.o regex.o buffer.o ve rsions.o ffaces.o version-etc.o long-options.o parsessh.o lexssh.o lexps.o sh eets-map.o ../lib/liba2ps.la -lm gcc -g -O2 -o a2ps main.o read.o sshread.o ssheet.o select.o generate.o delegate .o regex.o buffer.o versions.o ffaces.o version-etc.o long-options.o parsessh.o lexssh.o lexps.o sheets-map.o ../lib/.libs/liba2ps.a -lm  ...
