I have found that fgrun can be a little tricky to build. On my system configure does not find fltk and I have to define LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS that point to the fltk library directory and fltk include directory to get it to build. In addition fltk must be built with opengl support which is not the default build on some distros. For example on Gentoo you now have to set USE="opengl" (or better set this in package.use) when building fltk in order to build fgrun. There may be other issues with other distros as well and I have built other apps that use fltk that have also been a problem to build. Your errors don't look like what I was seeing before defining LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS. So I am not sure what is happening but I don't think that using 2.0 will help your problem since with things correctly setup fgrun will build and run with the current stable fltk (1.1.7). Also if you can't figure out what is going on you might consider opening a support request on the fgrun tracker. I did that to figure out the opengl problem with fltk and the maintainer for fgrun was very helpful. Hal PS: For those running Gentoo there is an ebuild in bugs.gentoo.org for fgrun. It is for 0.4.6 and only needs minor changes to build 0.4.8. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
