        You can't just build programs that depend on other libraries
        with with just "g++ <progname.cxx>".

        In the case of FLTK, you would need "-I/home/eric/Dfltk/fltk-1.1.10"
        just to fix the "No such file or directory" errors, but you'd also need
        many other flags too, which are OS specific.

        FLTK comes with a shell script called 'fltk-config' which can make
        compiling easy. So instead of 'g++ arc.cxx', try:

                ./fltk-config --compile arc.cxx

        ..since fltk-config just happens to be in the same directory.

        Or, if you have 'arc.cxx' in some other directory, then use:

                /home/eric/Dfltk/fltk-1.1.10/fltk-config --compile arc.cxx

        See 'fltk-config --help' for other flags.

        Note that a program manipulating images would for instance need the
        "--use-images" flag, and an FLTK/opengl app would need "--use-gl", etc.
