Mike,

I'm not sure if that last step (doing a make install) is necessarily god 
advice; my worry is that many distros still ship fltk-1.1 (if they ship fltk at 
all) and the 1.1 and 1.3 libraries are not (by default) versioned in any 
obvious way, and are binary incompatible... So doing a "make install" of 1.3 
may potentially tread on libraries installed by the distro, which might be a 
Bad Thing.

What I'd recommend, if you need to install fltk-1.3 at all, is to install it to 
a known safe prefix, unless you know for sure that it will not collide with the 
system provided libs.

For what it is worth, I don't generally install fltk *at all* since by design 
it works perfectly from the build tree so installing is not really a necessary 
step.
