>Description:
Rebirth of PR/11788.

While building Xloadimage, I got conflicts for wchar_t:

In file included from image.h:23,
                 from xloadimage.h:15,
                 from mcidas.c:7:
/usr/include/stdlib.h:57: conflicting types for `wchar_t'
/usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xlib.h:78: previous declaration of `wchar_t'


Xlib.h reads:

#ifndef X_WCHAR
#include <stddef.h>
#else
#ifdef __EMX__
#include <stdlib.h>
#else
/* replace this with #include or typedef appropriate for your system */
typedef unsigned long wchar_t;
#endif
#endif


So, it looks like the import of X didn't include following that step. Our type is 'int', I believe.

>How-To-Repeat:
Grab xloadimage if desired, from:

ftp://ftp.x.org/R5contrib/xloadimage.4.1.tar.gz

Extract and compile it.

>Fix:
It looks like Xlib.h should be changed, but I don't feel X-saavy enough to be comfortable making that change.
