Are you doing a "make install" when you build the lib?

If so, that will be the source of the problem - it is not possible to
have fltk-1.1 and fltk-1.3 "installed" simultaneously unless you
explicitly set the install prefix so that *neither* of them is placed in
the default locations...

To check this, you probably need to *uninstall* any and all versions of
fltk, then do a clean build of fltk (say 1.3) and *not* install it, but
simply run the test folder examples from the build tree, and see if that
works.

It does for me.

You change the install location by passing the 

     "--prefix=/my/safe/place/for/fltk-1.x"

Option to configure prior to the build.

For a fltk-1.1.x build, on Linux, my configure line looksed like:

  ./configure --enable-threads --enable-xft
--prefix=/home/Shared/fltk-1.x

Though note that now I don't set the prefix, but *never* do a "make
install".

Note: the fltk libs, with judicious use of fltk-config, are designed to
be fully usable from the build location.

So I *never* actually install fltk at all.
This is a Good Thing in my case as many Linux distro now distribute the
fltk libs as part of their stock setup, but they use an older version
and not compatible with the "cutting edge" testing I am doing.

So I always use fltk from the build locations, and leave the distro
versions alone for <whatever tools the distro has that need fltk...>

Interesting to hear how that goes. I do suspect it is an "overlapping
versions" issue however... So as long as neither you, nor your distro,
have any prior versions of fltk in situ, all *should* Just Work!
