Hi Jamshid - Indeed you probably don't have the "development" package (libraries+include files) for FLTK installed on your machine. Launch your package manager and check for things like "fltk", "fltk-dev" or similar and install them. Then run cmake again. > I greatly appreciate any help you can give me to fix this problem and > get my Gmsh > to have the GUI as it should. > Thanks. > > Best Regards, > > Jamshid gharib > <zz-GmshBuild_01-cmake-20120216.log>_______________________________________________ > gmsh mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.geuz.org/mailman/listinfo/gmsh -- Prof. Christophe Geuzaine University of Liege, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science http://www.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~geuzaine _______________________________________________ gmsh mailing list [email protected] http://www.geuz.org/mailman/listinfo/gmsh
