fltk

[Adrian]

This attitude is why people leave redhat for debian/ubuntu, get fltk
right and the rest will follow.
We have tested already.

Assuming by flrig you mean this:

http://www.w1hkj.com/downloads/flrig/flrig-1.3.09.tar.gz

Then flrig itself is not exactly blameless:

/usr/bin/ld: flrig-rig.o: undefined reference to symbol 'XCreatePixmap'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'XCreatePixmap' is defined in DSO /lib64/libX11.so.6
so try adding it to the linker command line
/lib64/libX11.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

In general you must not rely on what the libraries you link against
themselves link against.  If you need a symbol from libX11, say so.

(I suppose one could argue that fltk-config is not like pkgconfig and
that fltk promises to supply you more libraries than you need to link
against.  Which would be sort of funny, a "lightweight" toolkit bloating
out your link like that.)
