latest daily snapshot or 1.0a5? I built 1.0a5 without problems...

It looks like a typo. An extra inserted space?

You'll see that XWDFile.h contains:

XWDFile.h:#define sz_XWDheader 100
XWDFile.h:#define sz_XWDColor 12

but in the nams I've built, the XWDheader struct is referred to by
itself, e.g.:

header_size = SIZEOF(XWDheader) + win_name_size;

hth,

L.

vaguely wondering about X changes under Solaris 2.6.
