What the hell? Maybe try reinstalling the package with that file, perhaps it got munged somehow...

I tested it and I am getting the same problem here. The issue is with the config.h file that is getting generated and the following lines in a2ps-4.13/lib/path-contat.c: #ifndef HAVE_MEMPCPY # define mempcpy(D, S, N) ((void *) ((char *) memcpy (D, S, N) + (N))) #endif For some reason, the config.h file is not picking up a "#define HAVE_MEMPCPY 1". I just manually added it in, removed the patches and configures from the PKGBUILD and did a "makepkg -e" to test this. You'll want to dig into how that file gets generated. Alternatively, you could just add a patch to remove the 3 lines starting with "#ifndef HAVE_MEMPCPY" I still got one more build problem in a2ps-4.13/lib/xstrrpl.c . Just under the #includes for this file, there is a "extern char * stpcpy();", however, if you look where stpcpy is used later on in the file (line 52), you see that it takes two parameters. I just commented out the "extern char * stpcpy();" and everything built fine. A(nother) patch could take care of this. -Marq

Which file?

What reinstall a2ps?

I have to get it to compile first, otherwise how would I reinstall it, seeing that it isn't presently installed.

$ pacman -Qo /usr/include/string.h /usr/include/string.h is owned by glibc 2.9-4

I could extract the file from the package from the arch repos and due a md5sum or diff but I don't think it would be different.

It can't hurt to check.
