I did a make install of what was compiled.

The three libfltk*.a went into /usr/local/lib
The fltk header files in /usr/local/include/fltk
It could not find fluid to put in /usr/local/bin

Dillo ./configure said it could not find FLTK2.  I need fluid.

The fltk site discusses this lack of the lookupstring in the context of 
non-linux distributions lacking it and there is a patch from April 2008. 
My linux distribution seems to lack it possibly because SW81 is 10 years 
old.  Bug dates from fltk 1.3.  I could try a more recent X11 but they 
seem to be differently organized.  What specific file or library?
Maybe just libX11?
