OK - here's a few things:

Did you cd into the target folder?

        cd my_fltk_folder

You need to do that first. Then do:

        ./configure --enable-threads --enable-xft

Than do 

        make

And wiat while it does it's thing. Then:

        test/demo

Should run the test examples for you to try and check that it all works.

However... Your problem may simply be that you don't actually have the
developer tools and libraries installed - the default for ubuntu seems
to be to *not* install dev stuff. I was caught out because it doesn't
even install the man pages unless you tell it to... (let alone the deb
headers, and lost of the dev libraries.)

So, you may need to install a lot of developer packages to get things in
a useful state. Synaptic is your friend...
