Hi Folks: For reasons that escape me at the moment, I am the maintainer for a2ps. On 10.5 compilation now fails with In file included from libgettext.h:36, from dcgettext.c:83: /usr/include/locale.h:48:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition dcgettext.c:

I see in an excerpt of 'man ld' for 10.5 that ld now has an option '-dead_strip_dylibs'. I would strongly favour adding this as a default LDFLAG (conditional to 10.5). It does have the potential, when used systematically, to substantially reduce our deps ... JF Mertens ---

Dear Jean-Francois Mertens: I apologize for this, but please note that what I did simply restored the package back to the way line 82 was in 1.6, i.e, http://fink.cvs.sourceforge.net/fink/dists/10.4/unstable/main/finkinfo/sci/fftw.info?r1=1.6&r2=1.7&sortby=date I feel very uncomfortable touching
