No, according to your previous posting this is not correct! There you wrote: > Here is what I did: > > tar -xvzf fltk-1.3.2-source.tar.gz > cd fltk-1.3.2 > ./configure > make > #make install I presume you meant that you did not run "make install". That's fine and is the recommended way for development (recommended by the fltk developer team). However, if ther is some older version in the system library/include area (path), then you may get conflicts, if you don't take care. > Any suggestions? Use the /full/path/to/fltk-config (not only fltk-config, as you wrote above) to compile your test program. This should pull in all required files from the fltk library you just compiled (if it is in "/full/path/to/..."). However, there's still one small possibility that you might get the wrong lib when _running_ your app (this is not the case if you get linker errors as you wrote). To be absolutely sure you should maybe run configure with --disable-shared so that the shared libs are not built, but this is the default anyway. If you are trying to build fltk from source, as you described, then you should consider uninstalling the system fltk package and all fltk versions you may have installed previously, unless you need fltk for another system-supplied package.
