I just checked and there were no readonly files. > Did you try renaming the dir away and re-extracting from the tar > file?

But I did it again and noticed somethings. When I opened it up in VS, it wanted to convert the files (which I did). When I choose a compile mode (debug or release, etc) the default option is "Debug Cairo". The errors I have been giving you are from the normal "Debug" mode. If I do the "Debug Cairo" one, all my error messages are: Cannot open include file: 'cairo-win32.h': No such file or directory > Hmm, that looks like a bit of a puzzle...

At the moment, I'm halfway through a project that I programmed with this and I have been using other libraries (Direct3D and FMOD). Everything has worked fine right up until now. I had FLTK installed on this particular computer a while ago (until I reformatted) and I had no problem with it that time.
