It means that you are trying to write files into a protected (i.e.
system) location, and you do not have the necessary access rights - you
may be able to do this via the "sudo" command, i.e. prepend the make
install invocation with sudo, like this:
sudo make install
It will then challenge you to enter a password to prove you are
authorized, then do the installation.
But... Why do you want to install? Fltk-1.3 is still not officially
released, AND is designed to work correctly from the build dir anyway,
so there is no need to do an install, and until the release is
considered stable I'd actually caution against doing the install.
So, ask yourself if you really need to install. I suspect that you do
not.
