No lib Xext? I'm surprised fltk works at all...!
I'm guessing you don't have the dev packages installed then. If you don't have
Xext dev packages, then you are probably missing a load of other good stuff
too, so that probably does explain the behaviour you are seeing...

Yes, sounds like you need to install the dev packages.
What system did you say you were on? Is it ubuntu? They seem to have taken the
whole user focus thing a bit too far in their desktop systems, and they leave
out a whole pile of dev stuff that you likely need!

apt-get install libx11-dev

apt-get install libxft-dev
apt-get install libglut3-dev
Though that list is probably wrong!
Then re-run the fltk configure script from scratch and then rebuild fltk -
after that, I'd hope things would be better!
