That 'Can't open display ""' makes it sound like one of the build
commands is trying to access the window manager, which is odd.
It sounds like 'fluid' might be the cause;
I think 'radio' invokes "fluid" to generate the radio source files
as part of the build, and fluid is possibly running some kind of
X windows initialization code when it starts, even though it's
not actually opening a GUI.
The FLTK folks should probably check into this to see if the
command line invocation of fluid to build source files is still
somehow doing X window manager initialization somehow.
To get a successful build, try building from an Xwindow login
if possible, ie. so that you can run X windows apps from the
terminal and they'll open successfully. Then do the 'make',
and probably fluid will run correctly.
Certainly one shouldn't have to have the window manager running
to build fltk2 from the command line, but I imagine that would
be a workaround.
