libXext XsetExtentionsErrorHandler

When trying to compile libXext I keep getting this error

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -DMALLOC_0_RETURNS_NULL -g -O2 -MT extutil.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/extutil.Tpo -c extutil.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/extutil.o
extutil.c:253: error: conflicting types for 'XSetExtensionErrorHandler'
/usr/include/X11/extensions/Xext.h:41: error: previous declaration of 'XSetExtensionErrorHandler' was here
make[2]: *** [extutil.lo] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/sources/xc/lib/libXext-1.0.4/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/sources/xc/lib/libXext-1.0.4'
make: *** [all] Error 2

when I go to /usr/include/X11/extensions/Xext.h and read the file all it says on lin e41 is

extern XextErrorHandler XSetExtensionErrorHandler(
XextErrorHandler /* handler */

can't fint extutil.c file anywhere

What version of xextproto have you used? Because in Xext.h provided by xextproto-7.0.3 there is:

Code:

extern int (*XSetExtensionErrorHandler(

    int (*handler)(

                  Display *,

                  char *,

                  char *

                  )

))(

                  Display *,

                  char *,

                  char *

);

Note also that extutil.c is in libXext-1.0.4/src/extutil.c

I've tried version 1.0.3, 1.0.4.,and 1.0.5 and they all give the same error message.

Have you tried compiling xextproto 7.0.3, before libXext?

Thanks that worked I was using xextproto 7.0.5 and it refused to work with any of of the three libxext packages I had
