Has anybody installed GNU Emacs 18.52 under Ultrix 3.0? I just tried and
get errors from the linker. Apparently, DEC's Xlib (X11) defines malloc et
al, including calloc. Emacs also has a malloc package, but does not define
calloc. (The Ultrix library has calloc in a separate module.) Since many
X calls reference calloc, this bites the big one.
Is the GNU malloc package superior to Ultrix's in any way? Does anybody
know why Xlib has its own malloc package? Should I just define
SYSTEM_MALLOC and use the Xlib malloc instead of Emacs'?
Note that this is not limited to Emacs. Anyone trying to use one of the
numerous debugging/checking malloc'ss posed to the net will have the same
problem. Every system that I have checked has calloc in a separate module.
The various malloc's never contain code for it.
