I'm using Ariel Faigon's sort library, found here: http://www.yendor.com/programming/sort/

I was able to get all my code working on Linux, but unfortunately, when trying to compile with GCC on Mac, its default stdlib.h contains another heapsort, which unfortunately results in a conflicting types error.

Here's the man page for Apple heapsort: http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man3/heapsort.3.html

Commenting out the heapsort in the sort library header causes a whole heap of problems. (pardon the pun)

I also briefly thought of commenting out my use of stdlib.h, but I use malloc and realloc, so that won't work at all.

Any ideas?
