You don't say what version of fltk you are using; is it 1.1.x, 1.3.x, or 2.x ? Assuming it is a recent 1.1.x release, since that is stable (e.g. 1.1.9) then at the end of running the configure script it should have printed a config summary. Might be interesting to see what that says, see what else it found (or didn't). However, before I mainly switched to ubuntu based systems, I had FC5, FC6 (and I still have one F7 box) and the stock configure worked fine, so it ought to be OK. One side note: with the 1.1 series config script, I always like to add "--enable-threads --enable-xft" to the configure command line, as threads and XFT are off by default in 1.1. The default for 1.3 and 2.x is for thread support and XFT to be enabled, so thay do not need these extra options at configure. -- Ian SELEX Sensors and Airborne Systems Limited Registered Office: Sigma House, Christopher Martin Road, Basildon, Essex SS14 3EL A company registered in England & Wales.
