gperf is not installedrico% epm -qG a2psapp-text/a2ps-4.13b-r5a2ps works
fine for me (including Japanese characters)Please attach full emerge log
of a2ps and `emerge info`

From the website:
Franck> This file is generated from lib/confg.gperf with gperf.  If
Franck> you don't have gperf, the file lib/confg.c is empty.

Maybe it's an issue with me running "~"? I suppose lib/config.c was older
than make(1L) thought it should be, and tried to rebuild it. Missing gperf
then triggered my bug.

In any case, this file is sometimes rebuilt, and needs gperf to get rebuilt.

Hi, I confirmed your bug by myself and added dev-util/gperf to DEPEND
list. Thanks for reporting the bug.
