I have been building the latest versions of the TeX programs (tex, latex, mf,
xdvi, dvips, etc.) for my FreeBSD system. (The TeX packages in the FreeBSD
2.0.1 are not up-to-date.)

This is all pretty straightforward and painless, except for dvips(k).
The make includes /usr/X11R6 and /usr/include/sys .h files that clash on
	wchar_t
and
	sys_errlist
definitions. This seems like a bug in the X11R6 libs.

Has anybody figured out the right hack to beat this?
