OK sounds right.

Although, until the build actually works, you might want to try setting
--prefix to point to somewhere private, you know, Just In Case...

Looks OK, although it would appear that you do not have the OpenGL dev
headers installed.
Maybe you don't want GL support?
Either way, that should not be relevant here...

No, it should be in a system folder - it's a system file, after all.

Hmm, now that seems a bit odd. That looks like the right folder, but...
I'd have expected a /usr/lib/libXext.so as well, probably as a symlink
to /usr/lib/libXext.so.6 (or maybe even to /usr/lib/libXext.so.6.4.0
since I assume that /usr/lib/libXext.so.6 is already a symlink to that.)
The linker, by default, if passed -lXext is going to look for libXext.so
then libXext.a, in that order, but I don't *think* it will look for
versioned .so files unless told explicitly, so I imagine you would need
a /usr/lib/libXext.so instance...
Could try adding a symlink for that to see if it helps?
Also, what does the command "fltk-config --ldflags" return?
