fltk on ubuntu

[bela]

Hi,
I ve just install the ubuntu last release,
on my sarge debian, i can install without problem ( from the source) the fltk ( graphical interface for C++) it needs dev and lib X11, open gl. On sarge it was enough to install libx11-dev and opengl, ;;; to compile the fltk from the source.
but not on ubuntu , the configure doesn't find anywhere libx11 ( I installed a lot of other libraries libxft, ..., ) while it exist.

always it gives:

checking for X... no
configure: error: Configure could not find required X11 libraries
./configure: line 8268: exit: aborting.: numeric argument required
./configure: line 8268: exit: aborting.: numeric argument required
root@belaOffice:/usr/local/fltk-1.1.6#


the fltk ( .deb ) is installed normally but not from the source.
has anyone an idea.
thanks for answer

I am having a same problem as well and dont know how to solve it.

I am using ubuntu 6.06 GNOME currently.
I think, I've got everything required to installed the fltk 1.1.6. or fltk 1.1.7
like:
gcc 3.4.6 (stable)
libxft1 6.8.2-1
libx11-6
libx11-dev
fluid 1.1.7-1
libfltk1.1
libfltk1.1-dev

but I still can't install this fltk
maybe problem with my CC
I don't really know how to Set the CC vble

I typed this "$export CC=gcc" on my terminal (without " ) it show error
command not found even when I put sudo before $ sign.

no clue at all

can any senior or expert help this newby?
thx

EsD,

Try installing the xorg-dev meta-package. The list of packages it installs is on that page.

cool... it works
thanks alot po0f
I just need to go to synaptic package manager and type xorg-dev on search then apply them.

I used fltk 1.1.6 that I got from this following site
http://www.fltk.org/software.php?VER...source.tar.bz2

type : tar -xjvf fltk-1.1.6-source.tar.bz2 to extract them

then cd fltk-1.1.6/
after that type sudo ./configure
then make
then sudo make install

after the installation successful
type fluid & to run the program

hope this information help other newby like me


thanks again po0f

I'm trying to install fltk-1.1.7 on drake. The config command goes through okay, (I'd seen the above messages and fixed that problem). But when I type "sudo make install" I get an error that says:

rm: cannot remove '/usr/local/bin/fltk-config': is a directory
make: *** [install] Error 1

Any help would be appreciated, if anyone is still paying attention to this thread, that is.

Ravenna,

Dapper's FLTK is already 1.1.7. Any special reason you are compiling it?

As for your original problem, try deleting the directory it's complaining about, and re-running `sudo make install`:

$ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/fltk-config
$ sudo make install

If you run into the same error, post the "install" rule from the Makefile, if you would.

po0f,

Thank you so much! After installing xorg-dev...everything installed pretty smoothly.

Kind Regards,

I'm using fltk from the Ubuntu repository but FLUID wont work:
Could not launch 'FLUID'
Failed to execute child process "cd" (No such file or directory)


(64 bit 10.04)

Too bad that program dont generate Python code

[madtom1999]

SOLVED: Could not launch 'FLUID'
Failed to execute child process "cd" (No such file or directory)
I got this on 32 bit kubuntu 32 and 64 bit ubuntu!

It seems the menu item the package install is bad
I checked in synaptic and it should point to /usr/bin/fluid
