Ok, but how do I work around it, I've re-ordered my link line to basically be libdix.a libXfont.a ..rest of archives.. So the only thing that could be pulling in the second copy of the symbols is dix itself. Since they are provided by libdix I am therefore confused why they are pulled in. I am also still not sure why this only occurs w/ static libXfont since I use the same X server for another platform that has shared libs and it does not occur. > > The only function I don't see a warning for is register_fpe_functions(). > I can't find anything in the current source tree that refers to it. > Maybe something in your other X server does? My X server doesn't.
