    The main result is a generalization of a result of \textit{Z. Gajda} [Funkc. Ekvacioj, Ser. Int. 33, No.~1, 69--77 (1990; Zbl 0721.39005)] on a generalized d'Alembert functional equation. The author solves a similar generalization (integral version) of the Wilson functional equation, for essentially locally bounded functions mapping a locally compact group into the complex field. Under a non-vanishing assumption, explicit solutions are given for both unknown functions in terms of a continuous character of the group. (There is a misprint in Lemma 4: It should be assumed that \(g\), rather than \(f\), is a nonzero function.)
