From a customer... Please E-mail me ifyou have an answer. Thanks! Fred ---------- I'd really like to get the XView libraries running under UWS2.1 on our 3200's but I am running into a problem. I get multiple definitions of malloc from libc.a and libX11.a. I ran into the same problem in trying to compile the Andrew Toolkit. That time I just gave up and used the MIT libraries, but I'd rather not this time. What seems to be the problem is that DEC's libX11 has its own set of malloc/free routines which don't include cfree. So, if something referencing cfree links against X11, it gets calloc, etc but then has to search libc.a for cfree and gets a multiply defined function. No real showstopper, but it's a pain. Any ideas on a general solution?

| 1506.2 | a simple but ugly fix | VMSDEV::BALLOU | It's not slow, it's careful! | Tue Oct 03 1989 14:03 | 10 |
There's a workaround: when you specify your libraries, put the C library at the
front of the list, viz.:
cc -o foo foo.o bar.o -lc -lX11
This means the C library will be searched twice, but you will pull in the module
containing malloc from the C library rather than from the X11 library.
