It worked fine on my DEC Alpha under OSF/1 here.  Did you run the
configure script to generate the makefile?  That is indeed complex,
because it has to determine exactly what's on your machine that it 
can use before it can create the makefile.

The machine here is using a straight Posix-compatible make, not the 
GNU one.

The archive file version is a2ps-4.8.1.tar.gz.
