<pre>I use the Spack package manager (<a href="https://github.com/llnl/spack">https://github.com/llnl/spack</a>) to wrangle
software on various systems.
Version 2.12.3 would not build for me, the solution turned out to be to add a
dependency on gperf, since it is used in the configure script to sort out the
type of the arg to the lookup function.
The discussion about the issue and fix are here:
<a href="https://github.com/LLNL/spack/pull/4551">https://github.com/LLNL/spack/pull/4551</a>
I think that gperf is needed for 2.12.2 and 2.12.3 but not for earlier
versions, but wanted to check in with you for confirmation.
Am I correct?
Thanks!</pre>
